Deductions & credits

Community property states usually require that your income be split 50-50.  Having said that, each state has nuances in their own laws that can make the calculations complicated.  

If you have a situation where all of our income is under community property law, then each of you will be claiming approximately 94,000 of income (1/2 of 188,000, which is your total income).  Your tax withholdings would also be split 50/50 between the two of you.
