Yes, you can file your taxes jointly with only your W-2. Here’s how to do it in TurboTax:
Enter Personal Information:
- Open TurboTax and go to the "Personal Info" section under the "About me" tab.
- Enter your information and mark your husband's occupation as "Unemployed." This is sufficient and will not affect your ability to file jointly
Enter Your W-2:
- Navigate to the "Job (W-2)" section.
- Select "Add/Edit" to enter your W-2 information.
- You can import your W-2 instantly from your employer, upload it from your computer, snap a photo of it with your phone, or type it in manually
Best Option: Filing jointly is usually beneficial as it allows you to claim various tax credits and deductions that might not be available if you file separately
