If I file jointly will a spouse’s IRA trigger the pro rata rule?

IRAs are individual retirement account. You can’t have a joint account. You only go with your own balances

No, your IRA balances are considered separately for pro rata. The conversion / pro rata impact is calculated on Form 8606, which begins:

"If married, file a separate form for each spouse required to file 2022 Form 8606"
