State tax filing

There is no hard and fast rule on how you allocate the amounts between the spouses.

·            If it's clear who paid it, e.g. it was deducted from one spouse's pay, allocate it all to him

·           You can split it 50-50.

·           You can put it all to the higher earning spouse.

·           I proportion mine by percentage of income, e.g. if the wife earns 40% of the income, allocate 40% of the adjustments to her.
