married filling separate

Does Turbo tax produce two tax returns when the filing status is married filing separate.

[MinhT1]

When a couple file Married filing Separately, each spouse will file a separate tax return.

TurboTax does not create two returns.

You have to start two separate returns.

[velvulcpa]

If all the joint information is inputted and  coded for each taxpayer, why cant the software split the information and produce two returns.  Why is it necessary to start a whole new return for the spouse when the software has all the information assigned to both parties separately.
