Might you be able to split the return into MFS in order to create a dummy file to use to send the request?

If you do that, you will end up with requests under two separate client accounts that you will need to consolidate.  Worse still, if you are actually preparing a MFJ return and both spouses provide data to you under these separate accounts, you will likely incur a lot of unproductive time reconciling, collate, and following up for data.

In fact, if all you want to do is to generate separate requests to the other spouse under a different account, you don't even need to create a MFS return in PS.  You can simply go into Intuit Link, create a new client, send an invitation from there, and manage your requests, all within Intuit Link.
