BulldogTom Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 When a couple splits and they file MFS but the previous year was MFJ, how do you fill out the 2210? Do you split everything 50-50 when filling out the form? Thanks Tom Lodi, CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jainen Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 >>Do you split everything 50-50 << Yes, YOU probably do because you are in a community property state, According to the instructions to Form 2210, "If you filed a joint return for 2009 but you are not filing a joint return for 2010, see Pub. 505, chapter 4, General Rule." Basically, you figure the tax each would have owed had they filed MFS in 2009, then apply the same ratio to the actual payments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadlonetree Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 The MFJ vs MFS feature should be helpful to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
