Trouble with input joint data to the correct person for state refund. I put my information in. how do I put in my spouse's information. Same problem in other areas too.

We both filed separate last year and then got married. So Joint this year. Turbo Tax doesn't always ask who the data being input if for.

Where the program does not ask for individual income, it's because it makes no difference.  For example, for  the state tax refund number, just add them both together.

It doesn't sound like you told the software you were married? Did you do this before you entered information?

"Marital Status: Married" "your Filing Status: Married filing jointly"  .. It seems like turbotax doesn't consider that both of us have, for instance OHIO tax refunds. Only accepts one.
