How do I figure out community income or make community property adjustments between me and my spouse?

You will want to get a total for each category of income/deduction, then divide in half.
From the one half total, you will add or subtract to each person's share.  For example-

A Income= $70,000 B Income= $40,000  TOTAL = $110,000 (one half = $55,000/each spouse reports one half)

A= $70,000 MINUS $15,000= $55,000 (subtraction adjustment of $15,000)
B=$40,000 PLUS $15000-= $55,000 (addition adjustment of $15,000)
