Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Did you start the return using YOUR old account or your spouse's old account? You are only going to use ONE of the accounts. You cannot combine them or pull data from both. Pick ONE. Going forward----always keep the names on your joint returns in that order. The IRS does not care which one of you is "first" but keep it the same each year.
You need to go to My Info and make sure you have set up the return as a joint return. When it asked if you were married in 2023, did you say YES? Next question is if you want to file together with your spouse. You say YES.
Then it prompts you to enter the information for the spouse---spouse's name, date of birth, SSN, etc.
Throughout the return, when you are on an income screen, you will see a spot with both names or you will be asked by name which spouse the income is for. Enter carefully under the correct spouse's name.
