How do I calculate on a Form 8379

You have to allocate income, deductions and other tax attributes.  

 

Line 13a & 13b (Income) Allocate wages, interest, and other income to the person who earned it.
Line 14 (Adjustments)  Allocate deductions (like IRA or student loan interest) to the spouse legally responsible.
Line 19 (Withholding) Enter the federal income tax withheld from your specific W-2s or 1099s.
Line 20 (Payments)  Allocate estimated tax payments to the spouse who made them. (if any)
