    Yes, you will still need to complete Form 8958, Allocation of Tax, since you are filing separately.

    Ok so I already filed my taxes a month ago and she did hers last night,  do we have to ammend and submit that form?

    It is better to amend and pay any amounts due rather than wait for the IRS to catch it and charge penalties and interest in 3-4 years.
