You would have to learn about the community property regulations in your state to identify what income you and your spouse have that is considered community property income. But for the most part, you would add you and your spouse's income together and then divided it by two to arrive at your share of community property income. You would then subtract that from the income you reported on your tax return and that would be what you add or subtract for the community property income adjustment. You would do the same for the tax withheld on you and your spouse's wages, when asked for in the program.
For instance, if your income consisted of wages of $30,000 and your spouse's income was wages of $60,000, you would add them together to get a combined income of $90,000. Then, you divide that in half to get community property income of $45,000. Since you reported $30,000 of income on your tax return, your community property income adjustment would be an addition of $15,000.
