While a person without earned income can't contribute to a retirement account, there is a provision for spousal contribution from the one who earned, based on their eligibility and qualification.

You can google:

And find lots of calculators. Run through the scenarios for your clients.

Enter $7,000 for each one in the software and see what happens and  look it up in quickfinder or taxbook or the instructions.
