This is in WA state. The marriages lasted 15 years so IRS shouldn't challenge the legitimacy.
There's no pre-marriage property involved, it's all community property.
We have:
* Shared bank account which received interest.
* Shared investment account which receives dividend and had stock sale gains.
* Shared investment property which has associated rent income/costs.
She's not willing to corporate, thats' why it's getting harder.
If we are in agreement, I guess we can decide who to report/deduct which item.
If we can't reach agreement, is it safe for me to half of everything (deduct half of the mortgate interest, report half of the dividend income, report half of the rent income/expense, etc)?
Thanks!
