Taxes and Community Property States Rules Summary
Taxpayers in this state and seven other Community Property states may save with joint returns but often benefit from separate returns when medical expenses are high. Medical expenses paid from community funds are deductible equally, while those from separate funds are deductible by the paying spouse. On separate returns, withholdings and estimated taxes on community income are split 50 50. Community deductions are also 50 50. Each spouse can claim the full $100 dividend exclusion if income producing securities were bought with community income. The retirement income credit favors community earners, with earned income of $1,200 yearly qualifying both spouses for a starting credit up to $1,524, treated as half for each spouse.
