Can a non-working spouse contribute to a Traditional IRA?

Yes. A nonworking spouse can make a contribution to an IRA as long as the couple files a joint tax return, and the working spouse does have earned income that is equal to (or more than) the total amount of the nonworking spouse’s contribution plus the working spouse’s contribution. 

How do I use a Traditional IRA to buy a house?

You first need to find a custodian that will hold non-traditional or ‘alternative’ investments and establish an IRA with them. You will then locate the house you want to purchase, and typically, your custodian will require you to sign some internal forms. After making sure the contract is in the name of the IRA, your custodian will purchase the property for you on behalf of your IRA. 

What is the last day to contribute to a Traditional IRA?

The last day to contribute to a Traditional IRA is usually the tax filing deadline.
