Married filing separately, community property state, and medicare taxes
My wife and I live in Wisconsin (community property state). We file separate returns (but all of our income is community property, we don't have anything separate). I am trying to figure out how this interacts with additional medicare taxes from form 8959. Specifically, should each of our Medicare wages match on this form? I notice that TurboTax is using our individual Medicare wages from our individual W2s on each of our returns (which I believe is leading to a higher tax amount here than what it should be). I am wondering if I need to adjust this in some way (and if so, how). Thanks!
