Couple Filing vs. Individual

I have always filed both my return and my wife's as individual . . Of course, I enter both our income on each other's filings..  This year, I was having a bit of problem changing some personal information so I ended up click on Couple filing so now these two returns are attached but separate.. But each return display both the names on the Quick Graph Summary page, although only display the actual information of one return that is open.. 

Is there a way to decouple these two return or must I start fresh return separately since that will be a bit of pain..

Unfortunately, once you start preparing a coupled return, there is no way to separate them. You would have to start over if you want to prepare your returns separately.
