No you can't do that.  You each need to start fresh.

 

If you used Turbo Tax last year you should start a brand new account for yourself and not transfer from last year.  You can not remove a spouse or switch the order of names.

 

Online is only good for 1 return.  But you can use the same email address for 5 accounts.   How to start another return in the Online version

Start a new account. Removing a spouse is not recommended

Neither of you will be able to use the joint account ... you will each need to start a new online account for yourselves.   If you have any carryovers they  will need to be divided appropriately and entered manually in the correct places in the interview.
