Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Let's say that my spouse and I file separately for the year and we get married on 12/1/21. Up to 12/1/21 I make $110K and she makes $0. From 12/1/21 - 12/31/21, I make $10K and she makes $0K.

 

So if I'm a WA resident and she's a CA resident, she would only report half of $10K ($5K) on her separate tax filing, correct? Since community income only starts after the date of marriage?
