Press F6, then type 8958, and fill it out

If youve got a MFS return the 8958 should be already be there and prompting you to answer the question at the top.

Both are filing HOH. Each one is claim 1 child (2 children in from marriage), each provides 1/2 support per agreement.

Form is already filled out. F6 does not attach it to the filing return.  Help

[clark klc]

Return is HOH.  Does not automatically attach.  There is no question at the top to answer

8958 is only used with MFS.

Not according to the Proseries Help instructions for Form 8958.  If I can't use Form 8959, how do I report the income allocation for community property?

If they lived apart of the last 6 months of the year and qualify for HOH you wouldnt allocate community property.
