A joint tax return shows only the combined income for both spouses. There is no way to find your individual incomes in the actual tax return itself, because the information simply isn't there. To find your individual incomes, you have to look at your W-2s or other records of your separate incomes.
You will have to look at the W-2's and the Form 1099's that each of you received from your employer's and other sources.
TurboTax does not have a copy of the W-2 or Form 1099. It would have W-2 and Form 1099 worksheets that included the tax data from the forms that were entered. The worksheets would be included in the PDF of the tax return in the tax year the return was completed.
Copies of a Form 1099 would have to obtained from the issuer of the form.
The 2018 worksheets will not be included in the PDF download until after the 2019 online editions become available in December.
To access your current or prior year online tax returns sign onto the TurboTax website with the userID you used to create the account - https://myturbotax.intuit.com/

If you cannot obtain the W-2 from your employer, then for a fee you can get a complete copy of a W-2 from the Social Security Administration - https://faq.ssa.gov/en-us/Topic/article/KA-02501
You can get a free Wage and Income transcript from the IRS - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript
For a fee of $50 you can get a complete federal tax return to include copies of W-2's, if you mailed the tax return and included a paper W-2, from the IRS by completing Form 4506 - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf

The FAFSA does not ask for your individual total incomes. It asks how much each of you earned "from working." If you did not have any income from a business (self-employment), farm, or partnership, all you need to answer that question is your W-2s.
