I have both dependents listed correctly in the "my info" section. Somewhere in the deductions or credits section there was a page where dependents/exemptions are distributed between the spouses. You can choose 1 and 1 or 2 and 0, etc. It says to change these numbers around to see how it affects your return. I have tried clicking through but cannot find that page again to see if the numbers adjust.
You don't separate dependents on a joint tax return. Are you perhaps asking about your Form W-4? https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4.pdf
If so, you will find Form W-4 in the "Other Tax Situations" section of TurboTax under Other Tax Forms.
why are you doing this? if all dependents are reported on a joint return there is no mine/theirs unless you are trying to do an injured spouse or innocent spouse relief.
