For clarification: we have to split each other's income 50%. So, using your example of my W2 showing 10,000, and let's say my ex-spouse's W2 shows $5000. I would change box 1, 2, 16, 17 to show 7,500, right? Because half of my income goes on my ex-spouse's tax return, that means I only claim half of my own ... is this correct? Half of mine = 5,000 plus 50% of my ex-spouse = 2,500 for a total of 7,500. Can you confirm if I understand this correctly?
