A few things here. 1) you can’t contribute that much to an IRA. The max if you’re under 50 is 6000, if you’re over 50, it’s 7000. So 12 to 14k for the two of you combined. 2) that’s the max for IRAs total. If you contribute the max in a traditional IRA, you’re maxed out. No more into Roth & vice versa. 3) contributions into a traditional 401k would reduce your MAGI and has a much higher limit - 20500 next year. So that alone would get you under the threshold (probably, there are lots of other deductions that would get you there too and assuming there’s not some massive bonus you’re not foreseeing) 4) even if you’re over the income limit you may be able to back door but there are a load of considerations there too - namely existing traditional IRA balances

Counsel, no, you are conflating two separate things. 401(k) is offered by your employer, with an annual limit of $20,500 and IRA is something you do on your own with no involvement by your employer whatsoever, with an annual limit of $6,000.
Both 401(k) and IRA can come in either traditional or Roth variety.
You can’t contribute 15500 to a traditional IRA. That is over the contribution limit. Even if you could you would not then be able to contribute more to a Roth IRA.
