Married filing separately, community property state, and medicare taxes

My wife and I live in Wisconsin (community property state).  We file separate returns (but all of our income is community property, we don't have anything separate).  I am trying to figure out how this interacts with additional medicare taxes from form 8959.  Specifically, should each of our Medicare wages match on this form?  I notice that TurboTax is using our individual Medicare wages from our individual W2s on each of our returns (which I believe is leading to a higher tax amount here than what it should be).  I am wondering if I need to adjust this in some way (and if so, how).  Thanks!
