Yes, you could manually override the credit amounts on Schedule 3, but you definitely would need to mail your returns, and include Form 8275 with an explanation.
Since these credits are calculated on a form, and that form relates to a taxpayer's SSN, the program is not set up to split the amounts between two taxpayers. Perhaps the tax advisor you consulted previously has a better way.
You might consider one of you taking the energy credit and the other the clean vehicle credit so that there's less confusion/explanation required.
The Community Property Worksheet is not part of your tax return, and is just for your use. Since credits can be split as you agree, they are not on the worksheet.
