@pancakespancakes If you set your return up correctly as a joint tax return, every income entry screen will have a spot for each spouse. When you enter a W-2 it will ask if the W-2 is for you or your spouse by name. Go back to MY INFO and make sure you said you want to file a joint return with your spouse. Make sure you have entered her information including her date of birth and SSN.
When you are entering income on a joint return, every income entry screen will either have a spot with both spouse’s names there, or when you click to enter a W-2, 1099R, etc. it will ask you by name which spouse it is for. You do not have to wait for the software to “ask” you for your spouse’s income. Go to the screens to enter your spouse’s W-2’s, 1099’s, etc. just like you did for your own income. Then look for your spouse’s name there.
