FAFSA - Calculating AGI when separated/filed jointly

Hello, my spouse and I are separated (not living together) and I'll be completing the FAFSA as the custodial parent.  How do I calculate my AGI since we filed jointly in 2019?  I've read that if we live in a community property state (which we do) we can just split it 50/50.  Is that right?  Or do I need to calculate it based on my actual individual income?  Thanks!
