We file our tax returns jointly. We both own several rental properties and we show profit on our tax returns. It turns out that my wife does not receive any credits for that income at Social Security. Is there anything I need to change in turbotax so that she received credits as well ? she does not receive any other income, but helps with rentals. when I set up rental property in turbotax one of the questions is : “this property is owned by”. The options are the following :
“Husband”, “wife”, “both of us”. Shall I put “both of us” so that we both get credits towards our retirement at Social Security? I guess I need to understand what on tax return drives credits allocation at Social Security ?
