All changes for dependents start in the "MY Info" section of the return. 

 

Go Tax Home then My Info

Scroll through the information until you get to the dependent you want to address

 

Follow the interview questions.

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.
