My Spouse and I have a total of three IRA accounts.  One is hers and two are mine.  We each qualify for contirbtutions of up to $7,500 each because of age over 75 and total earned income of  $16,000 (all mine).  We want to contribute a total of $10,000 this year.  Can we contribute the whole $10,000 to one of my IRA's and nothing to hers?  Or must we split it between her IRA  and one of mine?

No.

 

You can't contribute more than $7,500 to anyone's IRA.

 

You can split the $10,000 in any way you like, but no one can contribute more than $7,500.
