can community property state taxpayerallocation for each w-2 only payer

[JeremiahLynn]

Yes, in community property states, couples filing separate federal returns must usually split their combined W-2 wages and federal tax withholding equally. This means each spouse reports half of their own W-2 income and half of their partner’s income, following community property rules unless an exception applies, such as when a portion of the income qualifies as separate property.
