How do I enter spouse's W-2 on taxpayer's MFS return (community property state CALIF)?

For a taxpayer filing MFS, I am entering taxpayer's community share of spouse's California W-2 income. In Proseries Basic, it looks like i have to enter spouse's W-2 in the taxpayer's name. Won't this cause problems when I e-file? Won't it cause a mismatch w/ the IRS?  

I tried putting the correct name and SSN at the bottom, below 13c, "Employee Information: Correct to match employee information on W-2" and I get an error.  Can you suggest the best way to handle this?

In the Forms list there is  a "MFS Community Property E-File Worksheet".

When anyone doing nothing needs help, I will gladly help that person do nothing.

Yes, I filled out the MFS Community Property E-File Worksheet, but, unless I'm wrong, that is only to double check the 100%.

In order to get the taxpayer's share of the spouse's W-2 onto the 1040, however, I have to enter it onto the "W-2 Worksheet".  Now on that worksheet, you usually copy all the info from the W-2.  But in this case, the W-2 is in the spouse's name, but the reportable income is the taxpayer's.  So how do I enter the info on the "W-2 Worksheet"?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!
