Thanks for the tip.  I just got off the phone with Lacerte support (3 long hours, 3 different people, cut off 3 times ... and that's after their menu system hung up on me 4 times.) The last person spoke with said he tried everything to split the unemployment (as I did too) and he was NOT able to make Lacerte split it.  He "submitted it for escalation". I asked that he add a note to the submission requesting Lacerte  enable it to indeed be split. Per a call to my State Tax Commission, it IS indeed community property and it must be split between the spouses. So now I wait...
