Aharpo.230 net.taxes utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!mhtsa!ihnss!cbosg!harpo!jtg Tue Jan 12 09:54:20 1982 Schedule G I am having trouble understanding the eligibility requirements for schedule G--income averaging. If you have been married for 2 years and are currently filing jointly, what are the support requirements? Do you have to have supported yourself (50% or more) and your spouse have to have supported his/herself for the previous 5 years? Or is it good enough that between the two of you, you provided 50% of your own income, even in a year that you were not married? Basically, the trouble I am having is in determining support in a year when both persons were unmarried. Can anyone clear up this matter for me? Thanx, jtg
