It sounds like you need to override values and you may need to purchase the desktop version and use direct input. https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/can-i-efile-with-an-overridden-field/00/479332#:~....
Any professional tax software (not consumer software) can also override.
I would report all of the Sch-C's that you have on your return as normal (100% ownership), then override the community property allocation, override the total income, then review the results and search for more possible overrides. Include a disclosure statement form for your explanation.
For your wife, I would enter community property allocation amounts and that should be it. Since there are no overrides, don't worry about disclosure statements but include one anyways just for kicks.
The goal is just to report everything and pay all of the required SE tax and income tax. I normally recommend filing jointly to save on taxes and keep a community property return simple. I also recommend it for pending divorce cases as long as there is an agreement on how the refund or amount due will be split.
