Married filing separately, how do we report our refund back that we got together (filed jointly last year)?

[SeanE1]

Just split the amount in half and each of you take 50% of the refund or you can divide the total in proportion to each of your earnings.  For example, if one spouse earns 75% of the household income, let that spouse take 75% of the refund and the other spouse will take the other 25%.
