Self employed
There are only a few community property states so there aren't many qualified joint ventures. You file a married filing joint return with two sch C. The IRS can figure out the income is under your name and showing on both returns. That isn't a problem.
The program should split everything for you. If it refuses, you can make the 2 sch C forms and split everything. All the ones I handle, the income is always in one name -never had a problem.
