How to split Minimum Tax Credit from prior year when filing status changes from Joint filing to separate filing?

We have >$100K Minimum Tax credit carrying forward to 2024, but our filing status is changing to Married Filing Separately. 

Can we split this carry over credit?  How to do it in TurboTax?
