What is your is yours and mine is mine

[ILLMAS]

Just wondering if there is a form in ATX that gives you what portion of the refund is for the filer and spouse? I entered everything by TP, the MFJ vs MFS doesn't give me the breakdown of the refund, and I don't have time to do it by hand for what I am charging this elderly couple. Ah I can just see the argument tomorrow, why me.... :-(

The MFJ vs MFS worksheet can give you the % each had, and from that you can 'split' the refund to the same percentage, and form 8888 will let you split the refund into each account.

Just don't waste a lot of time on getting it perfectly divided, you know they will not want to pay for the extra time. Just use any logical division, and tell them 'that's what it is'.
