The IRS knows that Texas recognizes pre or post marital property characterization agreements. Texas refers to such agreements as premarital and marital or post nuptial agreements. In order for the IRS to recognize such agreements they must be in writing and it appears you have complied with this requirement. Thus, you need to keep your premarital agreement and may have to produce it, or part of it, to the IRS if requested by the IRS.
On Form 8958, a couple lists individual sources of income for each of them, such as employers, banks that pay interest, stocks that pay dividends, capital gains and tax refunds. The couple reports the total amount received from each source, then allocates a portion of the total to each person.
To find Form 8958 in TurboTax, use the search tool, upper right side of the page, and enter "8958" in the search bar (no need to use the quotation marks). You should see a jump-to link that will take you to the area where you can begin to enter your respective income amounts. Before you do this though, make sure you have entered your personal information including your filing status, MFS.
Additionally, here is a link to a TurboTax article that discusses Form 8958, and allocating income between spouses.
