ETax847 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I have a couple that wants to file separately they live in a community property state. When I complete form 8958 for the income 50/50 split, it does not flow into the 1040. Anyone know if there is a box to check or something else that needs to be done. Currently the 1040 shows the filer's wages at 100% on line 7. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joanmcq Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 It doesn't. I do an adjustment on line 21 for ordinary income. Any items that have special tax significance like qualified dividends, nominee. I override the withholding on the withholding worksheet.

ETax847 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 This couple only has W2's, so do i just override box 7? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joanmcq Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 You can. I do an adjustment on line 21 though. IMHO it's better for the IRS matching computers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
