TAX TIPS

TAX BENEFITS FOR STAY-AT-HOME SPOUSES

Even if you've got a spouse at home, he or she too can be saving through an IRA called a spousal IRA. This is often forgotten, because the rules for a traditional IRA require that the IRA owners earn at least as much as they deposit each year.

You can save up to $4,000 for a stay-at-home spouse (subject to some income limits) and deduct it from your taxable income -- and, if they're over 50, even more. Still, that deduction alone could easily cut $1,400 a year off your tax bill.
