Deductions & credits
No and that highlights how TT differs from how my CPA does the taxes. If you only input Spouse 1's W2 into the Wages and Income section, then TurboTax only puts Spouse 1's income and withholdings on Line 1 and Line 25a. Nothing you do in the Community Property Income Adjustments section of TT will change that. TurboTax makes the adjustments in Line 8 and 25c whereas my CPA doesn't use those lines. He actually makes the adjustments in Line 1 and Line 25a, respectively.
To rephrase, the changes TurboTax makes to 8958 have no bearing on the W2.
-On Spouse 1's return, TurboTax only does a 50/50 split of Spouse 1's W2 on the 1040.
-On Spouse 2's return, TurboTax only does a 50/50 split of Spouse 2's W2 on the 1040.
My CPA inputs BOTH W2s in each return.
