I have a RDP in a community property state (WA). I entered the amounts for my 1099-G as
Ownership Taxpayer, all amounts exactly as printed. Then I did the split tango on form 8958. HOWEVER, the full amount shows on Schedule 1 Part1 line 7, not the adjustment I did on 8958.
On Schedule 1 Part 1 line 7, I right click and try to do a "override" but that option is grayed out and I cannot change the amount.
If I change the 1099-G from Ownership TAXPAYER to JOINT, the amount on Schedule 1 Part 1 line 7 is now 50%, BUT I get an error in TurboTax that "Joint Ownership Box should not be checked. Your filing status is not married filing joint."
ACK! Is there something else I need to do??? Do I ignore this message and leave the 1099-G as JOINT???
