Question
1040 allocation for MFS in a community property state
I have filled out Form 8958 for showing allocation for couple filing MFS; I realize it does not flow anywhere. My dilemma is getting 1/2 of income and taxes withheld on the 1040 properly. I also cannot get the spouses wages on the 8958 without an error message. To the point,
1) how do I enter both spouses information on the 8958, since the return is MFS?
2) how do I get 1/2 of the income, interest, taxes, on the 1040. I have spent several hours on this and had two advisors either hang up after 30 or so minutes or put me on hold for over 30 minutes until I hung up. Surely other preparers have had this problem!
