Last year I filed as married. This year I will file as Married filing seperately. Can I divide the estimated tax payments I made for 2018 between my spouse and myself?

How to allocate estimated tax payments for a couple filing separate is:

If you made joint estimated tax payments, you must decide how to divide the payments between your returns. One of you can claim all of the estimated tax paid and the other none, or you can divide it in any other way you agree on. If you cannot agree, you must divide the payments in proportion to each spouse's individual tax as shown on your separate returns for 2018.”
