Under 'Edit->Tax Options Report', you can specify multiple copies of
certain forms/schedules. For example, for a married couple who file a joint
return and require two Schedule C's (one for his business and a
separate one for her business), you can specify copy one for accounts
related to her business and copy 2 for accounts related to his, for the
same Schedule C related TXF codes. The US Income Tax Report will provide
subtotals for each separately. The TXF output will also have a different
copy number for each. This applies to several Forms/Schedules (Form 8606
and Schedule E, for example). I don't have a clue how your tax software
will handle this output once you have input it.

I would appreciate feedback from you once you have tried it.
