Not quite.
You are reading a thread for a Registered Domestic Partnership which is a bit different. They cannot file a Married Filing Separately federal return, but they still need to adjust their income.
If you are married, you will enter both separate federal returns into each TurboTax program, enter each taxpayer's tax documents into the respective return as they are reported, no need to adjust the tax documents themselves. Next, use the adjustments worksheet.
The adjustment worksheet generates Form 8958 which is included with your tax return.
The program will reallocate the income, deductions, and tax from the adjustment screens which you will use to make the adjustments listed on Form 8958.
This is only necessary when a married couple living in a community property state wishes to file separate returns.
