Injured spouse form 8379

I'm trying to fill out an injured spouse form but I can only get it to fill out the innocent spouse form.
I need form 8379 not 8857
Any help on  what I need to do ?

7. Answer the interview questions.

Some of the interview questions in TurboTax to file Form 8379 (Injured Spouse Allocation) and Form 8857 (Innocent Spouse Relief) are on the same screens

**Just answer the questions for the Form you want to complete and leave any other questions blank.
