Yes, you will be presented with a Community Property Allocation Worksheet to help you with dividing up income items for your MFS returns in California.

 

It is recommended that you transfer your tax return to TurboTax Desktop to do this.   Here's details on How to Switch from TurboTax Online to TurboTax Desktop. 

 

Here's the Steps to Completing the Community Property Worksheet. 

 

If you are a CA resident, you will enter all your income, plus half the community income.  Often one return has an addition to income and withholding, while the other will have a reduction (subtraction) to income and withholding.
