If I have a married couple in Washington State that wants to file separately how do I get Pro Series to handle this? Create make believe W-2's with half the items?

I believe you make community property adjustments on Line 21...Ive never had a couple in a community property state that live together come out better filing separate, so I haven't had to do one of these in a looong time.

Filing separately has no relation to the W-2.  Who ever the W-2 is assigned to has to claim the income regardless of how you file.
