Deductions & credits

If you are in a community property state (Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, New Mexico, Nevada, Texas, Washington or Wisconsin) then you will use form 8958 and allocate your income and relevant expenses using that form in order to divide things between you equally.

 

If you are in any of the other states then you will just cut the amounts of any joint income or expenses in half and enter them on the separate returns.
