Get your taxes done using TurboTax

KY is not a community property state so for a married-couple-owned joint account, the income can be split however you agree as long as all the income is accounted for; typically it is split 50/50.  

 

In each of your "Mock" federal separate returns each of you enter the forms 1099 information but only your agreed upon share of the income amounts. The amounts will then transfer to your separate state returns.
