If MFJ and household income in above 133K but spouse earned income is low,(2000) and  collects social security  can taxpayer  still make a deductible  spousal contribution? 

I said yes, the tax deductible  contribution can be made and I have entered this into the IRA worksheet, and there are no errors reported, but the clients financial advisor is insisting that because of the household income it cannot be done.   This makes a significant difference in the refund. What should I do?
