How to allocate income and deductions for a couple married in 2020?

Taxpayer and spouse each lived in separate states before tying the knot in 2020; taxpayer in VA, spouse in MD and then both moved to CA.

Part Year allocation works fine for CA, but VA and MD are giving me multiple errors, I think because

the spouses were not really part year residents of each other's state. Has anyone had to solve this

problem in the past and were you able to e-file the states of former residence?

Split the MFJ return so each spouse has its own file for their state only.
