As john Dooley mentions for these states (CA and OR) you can file separate state returns even if filing a joint federal return. In TurboTax this is accomplished most easily in a desktop (CD/Download) product.
You can create and file you joint federal return and then create "Mock" federal separate returns for each of you that will flow to your separate state returns all in the same product. You will need to print/mail the separate state returns since you will not e-file the "Mock" separate federal returns.
Here is a link with more details on the process.
