The best way to prepare a Married Filing Jointly Federal return and two Married filing Separate state returns on the Desktop software is to:

1. Create the Married Filing Jointly Federal return and submit it.
2. Then create two Married Filing Separate returns.  One for you and one for your spouse.
3. Then create the state return for each of you.
4. You will not be able to E-file the state returns without filing the Federal, so you will have to mail the two state returns.
