Although the IRS Instructions for Form 8938 Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets specifically outline the identifying information to list at the top of the form, there is no additional guidance relating to the names that should be listed on the attached additional sheets. The reason TaxAct^® lists both names at the top of the additional sheets is not to indicate the account belongs to both spouses, but rather to provide enough information for the IRS to associate the additional sheets with the correct return if any of them were to get separated from the return.
