Splitting a joint return to MFS

We filed a joint return last year but it probably makes more tax sense to file separately this year. We have several rental properties, so there will be a lot of detail, especially in one of the separate returns. 

Can I roll over last year’s return and prepare a joint return for this year, then have TurboTax split it?

 

Or roll over the joint return, delete one spouse’s data, and update the filing status? Can I then create a new return for the other spouse in my existing software?

 

I’m looking for the easiest way to handle this n TurboTax. 

Thanks.
