Get your taxes done using TurboTax

For federal tax purposes you're filing Single, so there's no community income to split. You won't need a Form 8958 for your federal return. 

 

For your state return, however, if you choose to file separately, you'll need to allocate the income. You'd create new federal returns for each of you using the filing status Married Filing Separately and prepare the federal return as such. Then the appropriate income would flow to your state returns.
