How do I allocate amounts between taxpayer and spouse on form 8582 for the same activity in an individual return in SureFire?

---

📊 Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Create a separate worksheet for each activity

Use this when you need to split income between taxpayer and spouse by activity.

If you want the income to be divided up on form 8582 by activity, then you will want to complete a separate worksheet for each activity.

Step 2: Create separate input worksheets for taxpayer and spouse (per activity)

Use this when your data is coming from an input source like a K-1.

Example: If information is coming from a K-1 Input, you would need to create two K-1 input worksheets, one for taxpayer and one for spouse for each activity so they flow to their own 8582 instead of flowing as a bulk amount.
