Georgia retirement exclusion

My wife & I sold a residential rental property in 2020.

I now am filling out the GA state Tax return and it is asking how do I want to 

allocate the income in the "GA retirement exclusion" section.

 

The property was jointly owned by my wife & myself.

Can I allocate the entire income amount to my wife or does the income have to split 50/50?

 

Thanks

    For the Georgia Retirement Exclusion, the Georgia instructions say "If any item is held jointly, the income or loss should be allocated to each taxpayer at 50%".
