It sounds like you played around with changing the filing status, which is never a good idea. Now, you should go back to the federal and start over and go through the entire return again. Every place where you entered income before, recheck the boxes showing who the income was for and answer the questions again. When you remove one spouse from a return, which is what you do to sample married separate, the program has no choice but to assign all income ad expense to the one taxpayer remaining on the return. The questions you're asked are also based on the filing status, so the questions have changed and you need to answer them again.
