Hello,
I received a notice from the state of CA saying they adjusted my wife's return to 0 due to the fact EDD couldn't verify the state tax withholding amount on her W2 or 1099 which is correct because the funds are from my state tax withholding from my W2.
In the tax withholding adjustment section in community property I made a $2258 adjustment to her return and a negative on my return in the same section which I thought was the proper way. After the adjustments because she made next to no income in 2019 we have split my state withholding down the middle.
The representative I spoke to at the tax board said she had never heard on that and withholdings are kept by the person that paid them not split. My wife and I have only community property so I split everything down the middle.
The turbo tax info section says this
"Your income tax withholding from W-2s, 1099s, etc. is considered community property, which means that half belongs to your partner/spouse.
You must compare your total withholdings to those of your partner/spouse and calculate how much of your withholdings belong to your partner/spouse and how much of their withholdings belong to you."
Am I doing this totally wrong?
