Deductions & credits

I saw your post and since it appears your returns were accepted, I'm hoping you can answer a few quick questions. When you entered the W2 information, did you divide all income and all federal taxes in half on each W2? In other words, when you entered your own W2 on your tax return, did you enter 50% income and 50% taxes, followed by entering your spouse's W2 in your name but with your spouse's employer info and following the same format with the 50/50 split? I'm also wondering if you ever determined how to complete boxes 7-20 on the W2. In the response you posed from TaxSlayer, it states to keep boxes 3-6 if it is your W2, but when entering for your spouse on your tax return, to leave boxes 3-6 blank. What about the other boxes? Lastly, when you filed with Turbo Tax, were you able to e-file with form 8958? The form was already completed based on your input in the tax returns and then filed with both tax returns for you and your spouse? I've spent countless hours researching this topic and the information out there is fairly bleak! Thanks for your help!
