No, TurboTax does not support Form 8958 for a tax payer who is filing single. Form 8958 is for taxpayers who are married, filing separately, so it is not applicable to your situation.
However, community property laws still apply to the income earned while you were married during 2025.
Therefore, to report the income subject to community property laws as a single filer in TurboTax, do the following:
- Calculate your share by identifying total income you earned during the period that you were still married and divide that by two
- Next, report your 50% share on your return, plus the 100% of the income you earned after divorce
- Then, coordinate with your ex because they are legally obligated to report the other 50% of the community income on their return
- Since you are both filing separate returns, you must communicate with your ex to ensure that they report their 50% share so that the IRS has accurate figures
Note: Because the IRS has a record of your full W-2 wages, they may send an automated notice asking why your reported income is lower than your W-2. If this happens, you can reply with a copy of your divorce decree and an explanation for the community property allocation.
