Investors & landlords

Unless you put the account into a partnership where you can divide the income as you like between the 2 of you (and is the correct way to handle this when you have non spouses on a joint account)   then the path of least resistance is for the primary account holder whose SS# is on the tax forms should report the entire amount on their return.   If they complete their  return without that info  and then add that broker's info  and see the difference it makes to the bottom line of the return with and without that amount ...  then they can  figure out the % of that difference that belongs to you so you can "settle up" with the other person.
