Married filing separately - Community property states?

My spouse and I are considering filing separately. I live in Minnesota and my spouse lives in Wisconsin. We both work in Minnesota.  Given that Wisconsin is a community property state, how do we correctly file state taxes?

 

1. Do I claim my income on the Minnesota state return and my spouse claims our combined incomes on the Wisconsin state return? 

 

2. Does my spouse fill out a M1RCR on their return that takes into account our combined income taxes paid to Wisconsin?

 

Thank you!
