Sorry, I'm pretty sure this response did not answer the question. I have the same question that no one can seem to answer (yet). This is not a matter of asking/confirming whether we meetithe MFS Spouses Living Apart All Year (MFS SLAAY) - we already understand that and know we meet the full criteria (with at least one having domicile in a community property state).
The real, separate, question still frustratingly remains: "If we fully meet the MFS SLAAY criteria, do either one of us, or both of us, still need to bother to complete and submit the 8958 or not?" It seems odd to complete the 8958 with "$0" (plus or minus) adjustments in any area.
Accurate direction or precedence please...thanks...
