If you live in a community property state, you will generally split it all 50/50. Some states have specific rules regarding the split, but most community property states follow the 50/50 rule.  The exception would be income earned on assets or investments that were owned by a spouse prior to the marriage and not commingled. Also, inherited income that was not commingled. 

If you don't live in a community property state, you will allocate each spouse's income to the spouse who earned the income.  

Community Property states are: Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin

How does that apply to military families? My husband joined the military in January so he only lived in AZ for three days before he left and then lived in four different states while I stayed in AZ. Then in August we moved to his duty station in North Carolina.
