If im clear on what i have seen on the board.......
to figure out the additions and subtractions I would add my wifes income and mine together for example i make 50000 and she makes 30000 total is 80000 /2 = 40000. since i make more than her I would subtract 10000 from my income and she would add 10000 to hers. the same would hold true for deductions.
my question comes in as to where to enter this on the return? do I just go in and change my w2 and lower my wages by 10000? and then include form 8958 so the irs knows why i did that? or another way of phrasing this would be, I enter the 10000 in the subtract box in turbo tax? where does this subtraction show up on the return?
if im correct let me know, if not tell me what is.
thank you much
Dave
