Deductions & credits

Form 8958 is a allocation form that separates your income and deductions and your spouse's or domestic partner's share of their income and deductions. This form is required in all community property states.  Whatever the amount of your income and deductions you allocate on the 8958 will be the amounts reported on your 1040. Your partner/spouse is also required to fill out a 8958.
