New clients prepared their own 2009 tax returns. On Apr 26, 2010 they entered into a contract to purchase a first time home, and their escrow closed June 18, 2010.
In preparing their 2009 returns, they filed MFS. Both returns are very simple returns having only W2 income.
Question: Would you suggest amending only one return, keeping the MFS status and taking the entire credit of $8000? Or, should I amend both returns and split the credit? Or, should I amend to MFJ? Remember, CA is a community property state.
