You can't because this situation does not qualify for the Qualified Joint Venture (QJV) exception because you formed a LLC. This option exists to provide administrative relief for married couple, so they aren't required to file a partnership tax return.

Once you chose to be a LLC, you no longer have this election and you must file as Partnership business return form 1065. This return is due by March 15th. It will include a schedule K-1 for each of you to enter with your personal returns. 

You can file the business return with TurboTax business here: https://turbotax.intuit.com/small-business-taxes/
