Get your taxes done using TurboTax

More data points......

 

I don’t see anything in Pub 555 which states Form 8958 is required to be filed in the case of Spouses living apart all year and with no community income. There is nothing explicitly stating a requirement to file and my wife has no SSN. The form itself requires an SSN.

 

To the contrary, p 10 of Pub 555 explicitly states in cases where Spouses are not living apart all year but are filing separately are required to file Form 8958.

 

Can you clarify? Thanks again.
