If my wife and I share a rental property, will Turbotax split the total income automatically between us? Or do we have to divide it ourselves?

I thought in previous years turbotax automatically divided the rental income between us but it's not doing that this year. Maybe it is trying to even out our income or did I miss a box somewhere? I did tick the 50% ownership box.
