Question
Post Your Unemployment Exclusion Questions Here
Here's mine:
Spouse 1 income: About $100K
Spouse 2 income: About $70K on a W-2, and $18K unemployment.
Joint return already filed.
Can amend to separate by April 15.
On separate return, Spouse 2 qualifies to exclude unemployment.
Complication: This is a community-property state. They would still qualify, but splitting is a nuisance. And is unemployment considered community income?
