| Cannot find the answer anywhere on this...
Client filed separately in 2006 while going through a divorce. Her attorney just called me and said she couldn't file separately because she is in a community property state. I thought that this is only if we had to file the state itself, not federal return. Am I wrong? | |

| You can file MFS, but you may have to allocate the community property income and expenses between the two. Pub 555 is useful. | |

| I live in Louisiana, a community property state, and I've never seen this. I have clients who file MFS for federal all of the time. Louisiana follows federal filing status. | |

| The way community property works here, she gets the property and he has to leave the community. | |
