Form 8958: Is Spouse's Separate Income Required on this Form?
Hello - When filling out Form 8958 in Turbotax, is it required to provide the details of all of my spouse's _separate income_? Full example below.
Details: Married Filing Separately; married in 2019, at the end of the year.
For illustrative purposes, assume:
Spouse A
Job1: Separate Income of $90
Job2: Community Income of $10
Spouse B
Job3: Separate Income of $270
Job4: Community Income of $30
On Spouse A's Form 8958, I would list:
-Job1: Total Income $90, fully allocated to spouse A
-Job2: Total Income of $10, with $5 allocated to Spouse A, and $5 allocated to Spouse B
-Job4: Total Income of $30, with $15 allocated to Spouse A, and $15 allocated to Spouse B
On Spouse B's Form 8958, I would list:
-Job2: Total Income of $10, with $5 allocated to Spouse A, and $5 allocated to Spouse B
-Job3: Total Income of $270, fully allocated to Spouse B
-Job4: Total Income of $30, with $15 allocated to Spouse A, and $15 allocated to Spouse B
My specific question is:
1.) Does Job1 need to be listed on Spouse B's Form 8958? It is entirely separate income, so I strongly assume it is not required.
2.) Does Job 3 need to be listed on Spouse A's Form 8958? It is entirely separate income, so I strongly assume it is not required.
Thanks in advance for your responses.
