Get your taxes done using TurboTax

IIRC Turbotax tries to choose the right option for you by asking if this is the first return you file jointly. If you answer "No", you can input only a single AGI.

 

I believe I read in some discussion here that the answer you give to that question is not sent to the IRS, but I wasn't able to find it now.

 

Anyway, it was the second year of filing jointly, but the first we filed electronically. I just tried answering "Yes" to the first-time-jointly-return question and Turbotax gave me the option to provide two AGIs.

 

In our case everything was processed correctly, but I should emphasize that I don't really know if that is the "right" way to go.
