I'm in an RDP in California and trying to use these instructions https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1899324-how-do-i-prepare-our-rdp-return-if-we-live-in-california-n... but steps 4 and 5 in Part I don't appear to exist for me.
Instead, community property wages are mentioned in 'Other Wages Received' but if you click through that section it's never mentioned again.
Two things. For Part l, make sure that you have indicated in TurboTax, when selecting RDP -This is the single community property return I will file with the IRS. And the community property worksheet questions do not have a spot on the TurboTax menu. So, to get there, you can type community property into the search bar, hit enter, then use the Jump to link.
Don't go there until you go all the way through the You and Your Family section and your Filing Status has been confirmed as Single or Head of Household on this return. Once you are passed the Filing Status, all of the community property questions will show up. If your filing status says Needs Review, all of the adjustment screens won't show.
Once you have visited the community property area and entered at least one adjustment, you will find a new form when using Forms Mode, Form 8958. You can verify your entries here.
