It depends. if you live in a community property state such as Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin, you will need to prorate 50/50.If you live in any other states, you can prorate any amount you wish as long as you are in agreement with your spouse because if you claim all the credit for yourself, then when they file their return, they can't claim any. if they do, it will trigger an audit.
