Getting started


TurboTax does not automatically split capital gains between spousal returns.

Each spouse must separately report the appropriate percentage on their own return.

Example: If you and your spouse purchased and sold 100 shares of stock and you paid 1/4 of the total purchase amount, you would enter information for 25 of the shares and 25% of the expenses on your return. Your spouse would enter the rest on his or her return.

T3/T5/T5008 joint investment holders:  Each owner of a joint account is required to report their individual percentage of the total income (interest, dividends, capital gains, return of capital) according to the same ratio as their proportionate contribution of funds to the joint account.
