Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@GTS111 There is a way to do two separate Detroit allocations in Forms Mode. This will create to married separate Detroit returns:

Under Michigan Individual, double click Info Worksheet
Go to Part II City Resident Status
Select Nonresident next to Spouse's residency if different. Since you are both nonresidents, TurboTax will give you a big red "X".
What this does is create an allocation worksheet for the Spouse (Form 5121S)
Click on Form 5121S and manually enter your days worked and days not worked. This number will transfer to Form 5119S.

After you print your wife's return you may want to undo this. TurboTax says you have to mail the second return. I have not tested whether you can e-file this way as we can't get dummy returns to the IRS or MI.
