So whats the secret to filing the Fincen 114 for only the spouse on a MFJ return?

Im not seeing any box to check for the SP to show up on the 114...it auto inserts the TP.

I don't think there is a secret; you can't do it.

I "Save As" the client file and call it something like "John Doe-FBAR Only", and switch the spouses.  So that second file is only used for FBAR filing for the spouse.

If I have to go through all that, I may as well use the FBAR website and do it there.  Thanks!

@TaxGuyBill is correct.  The article https://accountants-community.intuit.com/articles/1605882-creating-form-114-report-of-foreign-bank-a... has the detailed steps.
