Thanks for the example.
But it is still not clear to me how I would fill out 8958
Focusing on 8958 Box 1 "Wages (each employer)" using your example.
Here is one way I could fill this out.
| Wages ( each employer) | A (total amount) | B ( my SSN) | C (spouse SSN) |
| My employer | 120 | 60 | 60 |
| Spouse employer | 80 | 40 | 40 |
Does what I enter here have any effect on our actual tax returns?
I understand the intent of "community property" but not sure why I can't enter something like the table below where 100% is allocated to the person that earned it which is how the tax is actually calculated on our returns?
| Wages ( each employer) | A (total amount) | B ( my SSN) | C (spouse SSN) |
| My employer | 120 | 120 | 0 |
| Spouse employer | 80 | 0 | 80 |
