The contribution limits apply to each individual, so married couples may be able to contribute the contribution limit for both spouses. For example, in 2017, a married couple, both of whom are over age 50, may contribute a total of $13,000 ($6,500 each, if there is enough earned income to support this level of contribution). Note: You may continue to fund your IRA for 2016 through April 18, 2017.
You can, however, get more insurance if you are willing to have it go to others when you pass on, but more on that later. The FDIC does consider an IRA a separate depositor and insured separately. Thus, one individual can stash $250,000 in a taxable account and another $250k in an IRA account. Be careful though, Roth IRAs and Traditional IRAs are not considered separately insured from each other. One couple - $2,000,000. Here, each spouse can put away $250K in a taxable account and an IRA, accounting for the first million, as well as an additional $500K with a joint account.
