The W-2 shows my wife as the one earning in 2019, when it should have been me. When I tried to import my W-2 over, it wouldn't do it without my employer ID no.

I haven't got the number. And I can't change the name or ssn on the form. She never got a w-2 for 2019. She didn't work. Please advise.

On the income entry screens, there is always a place for each spouse's income when you prepare a joint return---the names are by those spots.  You entered your own W-2 by the wrong name. Delete it and then re-enter it by your own name in Federal>Wages & Income.

 

As for importing your W-2, unless you have some information from the actual W-2, you will not be able to import it.

If your employer allows importing of the W-2 information then the directions on how to do it should have been made available back in January  ... ask the employer and/or check your emails.   If the form is available online then you should be able to download a PDF to your own computer ... then you have the info needed to complete a return even if you manually enter it.
