How can I file MFS for DC State Return, when clients filed jointly on Federal Return but need to file separately on DC Return? Spouse is Non resident

Clients are both diplomats and homes of record are different states. Clients filed jointly on Federal return.

Taxpayer needs to file MFS for DC State Return. How can this be done? I could not deduct Spouse's income from Taxpayer on the program.

Please help me!

After you prepare the federal MFJ 1040, make a copy of the file under a different file name… split the new file into 2 MFS returns, then make appropriate adjustments so that the new MFS returns flow to the State MFS

If at first you don’t succeed…..find a workaround
