I have this same question. I emailed the question to the Va. tax people and they say they will answer within 5 business days. So then I asked the question on their live chat, and I was told that you have to split it 50/50.
But I remembered from years ago when they did it a little differently that it was stated that you could split it any way you want to, however is the most advantageous. So then I called my local Commissioner of the Revenue's office and was told that it is the way I remembered. I told her that the person on live chat told me differently, but she was sure of her answer. So that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to put all the interest as my income because I earned significantly less than my husband and that will save us some money.

Interest income is considered taxable when earned. For example, if your savings account accrues interest, it is taxable at the time of accrual even if you are not utilizing the funds within the account.
