If you are going to file as Married Filing Separately then you have to create two separate tax returns and create two separate accounts with two separate and unique user ID's when using the online editions.  Go to this TurboTax website for the online editions to create a new account - https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/

You can use one email address for up to 5 user ID's when using the online editions.

When you use Turbotax Online version, you can prepare only one return per account/payment. This Turbotax help topic tells you how to start another return:

That is a fundamental difference between the Turbotax Online version, which you access through a web browser, and the CD/Desktop version which installs and runs on your home computer.
With the CD/Desktop version, you can prepare as many returns as you wish just for the price of the box.
