I am filing MFS and NOT in a community state so why am I being asked for MFS Fed AGI?

I am Married Filing Separately and do NOT live in a community state and my spouse and I have lived apart for the entire year. TurboTax produced an error "Information Worksheet: MFS fed AGI must be entered." What does this mean and where do I get this information? Is it asking for a combination of my and my spouse's income?

Thank you!

I resolved the issue and did not see a similar question/answer posted so I am sharing. Under the Federal "Personal Info" tab I had to revisit my spouse's information and select checkboxes that say:

 

"Spouse did not live with me at any time between July 1, and December 31" and "I lived apart from Spouse for all of 2021". 

 

Subsequently, in the next menu I had to select the box to confirm that spouse had income and will file a tax return and that no one else could claim Spouse as their dependent. 

This cleared the error asking me for MFS Fed AGI.
