If you and your spouse or common-law partner both receive pension income but are in different tax brackets, it might make sense to split your pension income.
The TurboTax Pension Splitting Optimizer automatically calculates the best distribution of your pension income, which can help you and your spouse pay less in taxes. TurboTax uses all the information entered into your tax returns to determine the amount (up to one half) that can be split with your spouse.
You're also shown a comprehensive view of the different ways you can split your pension income, and TurboTax will recommend the best option to optimize your return. The option of choosing the recommendation or picking a different split is entirely up to you.
Note:
For more information, please see TurboTax Webpage: Understanding Pension Income Splitting for Seniors
For step-by-step guidance please see our TurboTax FAQ: How do I split my pension income with my spouse?
Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
