I am filing Married Separately. I got a message stating that I have to get a deluxe package because my address is a community property. I do not own the property, I live with a relative. He lives in a different city with a different relative. Why do I still have to get the deluxe package to file my return?
It doesn't mean the property is community property. It means you live in a community property State. There are special calculations you have to do on both your returns. It is tricky. I don't know how it works.
Heres one help article
Thank you Volvo Girl. I really appreciate your comment.
To Tax Experts only:
Please advise which form I should use to file? I read Publication 555 and 971 still not sure which route I should go. I am assuming the form that I need is in your deluxe package, but what if I am not able to e-file because of it. I need to know my options before taking the next steps. I have filed with the free edition for 2 years and never came across this concern.
Thank you.
