MFS or MFJ Selection

I was trying to figure out what is the proper filing status for 2021. I downloaded Turbotax Desktop version, entered the info and looked at the What-if worksheet. However, it does not provide me with useful information since it just allocated 50% of the investment income to each taxpayers if MFS. I am wondering how to get the investment income to go to the corresponding person on the worksheet. Does anyone have any experience?

 

Also, what if I finally decide to do MFS, should I create two separate returns for both taxpayers?
