Form 8958

[Debiluvsjamie]

The form indicates it is populating from lines on the 1040; however, its incorrect. What the heck.  I can do it more accurately manually; however, it doesn't let me edit the form.  The final AGI is correct;however, the form concerns me.

You'll need to check the Yes box for Are allocated community property amounts reported on this return?, and then you'll be able to make your manual entries to allocate your income items between the two taxpayers.
