For 2019 tax year...preparing now... clients want to know difference of MSJ or MFS and what the tax balance due for MFJ compared to MFS for each of the clients. There is considerable self-employment earned by the primary tax payer on the MFJ. Texas is a community property state so I am doing the 8958 for each spouse to allocate the income and that the self-employment spouse will be allocated the full SE to his return.
The MFS for the husband had no problem in doing his MFS and the SE allocated to him as it should.
But now on the spouse when I am trying to do her MFS, the Info sheet allows me to put both of their names in with her name in the primary side and his on the right side. And I checked MFS box.
But when I try to enter the spouse's his self-employment income the software won't allow me to enter it under his name. It reverts to her name.
What should I do to make it right. Am I missing something somewhere, a box or other thing? I really need help! Thank you. Anyone else that has had same problem with the 2019 Basic software?
It's interesting that I was able to do his MFS but her's is not accepting it
I used the Federal Final Review but it doesn't show me what is wrong concerning that issue.
