How to split community property in federal returns as part of registered domestic partnership?

I'm filing in California for the first time, using desktop version and filing the joint California return and two individual federal returns.

 

I tried following the steps here, and nowhere do I see a 'Community Property Income Adjustments' screen. Is this a bug?

https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/taxation/prepare-rdp-return-live-califor...

 

Where / how do I report half the community income on each partner's federal return? For example I have a W2. Should I manually override that W2 and divide by 2? Where do I input partner's share of my W2 income? 

 

Would appreciate if anyone could recommend any experts that could help us with this for the first time.

Thank you,

Natalia

If you did not see the screen below, you have to start the return again- once you pass it you cannot go back.  However, if you are familiar with FORMS mode, you can go in and do an override on the Personal Info section (or if you transferred the return you started online).

Thanks! I was able to find it - using the desktop version - by searching for 'community property' under 'search topics' and then adding adjustments there.
