Q. I did have medical deductions. Can I assign that to my husband and be okay?
A. Probably.
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 adjustment to her.
