Investors & landlords
Every year, it's the same thing. Pennsylvania splits the dividends and interest (even though you check "joint").
And every year, I white-out the number and combine the numbers onto one form. (1) Why do they provide you with a box to check called: "joint", if they won't let you use it? (2) why print out an extra sheet of paper, splitting up the interest when you checked "joint"? I thought the object was to simplify your taxes. (3) if you'll notice, on both forms that they split up (against my direction), they put the husband's name only on the top of both forms. So, since I mail my return anyway (I don't trust efile), I combine the numbers onto 1 form and check "joint". Annoying. And technically, it's not 50-50. For some reason, one person has a few dollars more than the other. They ask you if it's joint and when you say "yes", they split it in half.
