Hello,
My wife and I are planning on filing our taxes as married filing separately. I am coming across a lot of questions when we are trying to use TurboTax to file them, such as:
-Do we both fill out returns on TurboTax?
-How do we go about reporting joint deductions? (Such as property tax)
-How do we go about reporting separate things? (Such as individual IRAs, Savings accounts, etc)
I tried filing the returns both ways - doing a separate one for both my wife and myself, and then doing a combined one where I put in all our information into one form but I run into issues that poses questions above, such as:
-When I fill out a form for both of us, then trying to report IRA contributions, then it says I contribute too much (12K, but then says I contributed 6K too much).
-When I fill out a form separately, then I don't know what to do about our joint deductions - Do we both fill in what we pay on property taxes? Or divide it by two?
Very confused. I appreciate any help.
