My wife and I moved from IL to CA in late October 2025. We file married separately (student loan reasons). Since we file separately, we are required to complete Form 8958. On that form, we’re required to report wages earned and also federal taxes withheld.

    The question: Since we only lived in CA for the last two months of 2025, do we only report wages earned and federal taxes withheld while we resided here? Obviously on our 1040s, we reported all the wages and did two state forms (one for IL and one for CA), but this Form 8958 is confusing me. The instructions on the form aren’t very clear.

    Thanks for any help!

    Quick Form 8958 question (well, hopefully, quick)
