Purpose of Form
Use Form 8958 to determine the allocation of tax amounts between
married filing separate spouses or registered domestic partners
(RDPs) with community property rights. If you need more room,
attach a statement listing the source of the item and the total plus
the allocated amounts. Be sure to put your name and social security
number (SSN) on the statements and attach them at the end of your
return.
Community property laws affect how you figure your income on
your federal income tax return if you are married, live in a
community property state or country, and file separate returns.
This form is intended for individuals who:
1. Are subject to community property laws, and
2. File separate federal income tax returns.
See Pub. 555, Community Property, for more information.
Community or Separate Income
In a community property state, if you file a federal tax return
separately from your spouse, you must report half of all community
income and all of your separate income. Likewise, a RDP must
report half of all community income and all of his or her separate
income on his or her federal tax return. Generally, the laws of the
state in which you are domiciled govern whether you have
community income or separate income for federal tax purposes.
Generally, community income is income from:
• Community property;
• Salaries, wages, or pay for services of you, your spouse or RDP,
or both during your marriage or registered domestic partnership; or
• Real estate that is treated as community property under the laws
of the state where the property is located.
Generally, income from separate property is the separate income
of the spouse or RDP who owns the property.
Special rules apply for spouses living apart all year and for
spouses one or both of whom are nonresident aliens.
For more information, see Pub. 555, Community Property.
Identifying Income and Deductions
You and your spouse or RDP must be able to identify your
community and separate income, deductions, credits, and other
return amounts according to the laws of your state.
Income
The following is a discussion of the general effect of community
property laws on the federal income tax treatment of certain items
of income.
Wages and self-employment income from sole proprietorship.
A spouse’s or RDP’s wages and self-employment income from a
sole proprietorship are community income and must be evenly split.
TIP
For RDPs, the self-employment income from a sole
proprietorship is also split for self-employment tax
purposes. See Self-employment tax, later.
Interest, dividends, and rents. Interest, dividends, and rents from
community property are community income and must be evenly split.
Gains and losses. Gains and losses are classified as community or
separate depending on how the property is held.
Withdrawals from individual retirement arrangements (IRAs).
There are several kinds of individual retirement arrangements (IRAs).
Distributions of IRAs by law are deemed to be separate property,
even if the funds in the account would otherwise be community
property.
These distributions are wholly taxable to the spouse or RDP
whose name is on the account. That spouse or RDP is also liable for
any penalties and additional taxes on the distributions.
Pensions. Generally, distributions from pensions will be
characterized as community or separate income depending on the
respective periods of participation in the pension while married (or
during the registered domestic partnership) and domiciled in a
community property state or in a noncommunity property state
during the total period of participation in the pension. These rules
may vary between states.
Partnership income. If an interest is held in a partnership, and
income from the partnership is attributable to the efforts of either
spouse or RDP, the partnership income is community property.
TIP
For RDPs, the self-employment income from a
partnership is also split for self-employment tax
purposes. See Self-employment tax, later.
Tax-exempt income. For spouses, community income exempt
from federal tax generally keeps its exempt status for both spouses.
For example, under certain circumstances, income earned outside
the United States is tax exempt. If you earned income and met the
conditions that made it exempt, the income is also exempt for your
spouse even though he or she may not have met the conditions.
RDPs should consult the particular exclusion provision to see if the
exempt status applies to both.
Income from separate property. In some states, income from
separate property is separate income. Other states characterize
income from separate property as community income.
For more information, see Pub. 555. For specific information that
pertains to your situation, check with the laws of your state.
Deductions
If you file separate returns, your deductions generally depend on
whether the expenses involve community or separate income.
Business and investment expenses. If you file separate returns,
expenses incurred to earn or produce community business or
investment income are generally divided equally between you and
your spouse or RDP. Each of you is entitled to deduct one-half of
the expenses on your separate returns. Separate business or
investment income are deductible by the spouse or RDP who earns
the income.
Other limits may also apply to business and investment expenses.
For more information, see Pub. 535, Business Expenses, Pub. 550,
Investment Income and Expenses, and Pub. 555.
IRA deduction. Deductions for IRA contributions cannot be split
between spouses or RDPs. The deduction for each spouse or RDP
is figured separately and without regard to community property laws.
Personal expenses. Expenses that are paid out of separate funds,
such as medical expenses, are deductible by the spouse or RDP
who pays for them. If these expenses are paid from community
funds, divide the deduction equally between you and your spouse
or RDP.
Deductible portion of self-employment tax. The deductible portion
of the self-employment tax is split only when the self-employment
tax is split by the spouses or RDPs. See Self-employment tax, later.
Credits, Taxes, and Payments
Self-employment tax. Although the self-employment tax rules
contain a provision that overrides community income treatment in
the case of spouses (IRC 1402(a)(5)), this provision does not apply
to RDPs. RDPs split self-employment income from sole
proprietorships and partnerships for self-employment tax purposes.
The following rules apply only to persons married for federal tax
purposes.
Sole proprietorship. With regard to net income from a trade or
business (other than a partnership) that is community income, self-
employment tax is imposed on the spouse carrying on the trade or
business.
Form 8958 (Rev. 11-2019)
Page 4
Partnerships. All of the distributive share of a married partner’s
income or loss from a partnership trade or business is attributable
to the partner for computing any self-employment tax, even if a
portion of the partner’s distributive share of income or loss is
community income or loss that is attributable to the partner’s
spouse for income tax purposes. If both spouses are partners, any
self-employment tax is allocated based on their distributive shares.
Federal income tax withheld. If you and your spouse file separate
returns on which each of you reports half the community wages,
each of you is entitled to credit for half the income tax withheld on
those wages. Likewise, each RDP is entitled to credit for half the
income tax withheld on those wages.
To determine estimated tax payments, earned income credit, and
overpayments, see Pub. 555 for more information. For specific
information that pertains to your situation, check with the laws of
your state.
