Thanks for the tip, good to know for the future. I can see how changing the order of the names on a joint return could really mess things up since it seems the IRS just automatically designates the first name listed as the primary taxpayer.
And LOL but if you are doing the return then IMO your husband has no right to complain or be upset (not that he is) that you accidently listed your name first and now as you indicated it needs to stay that way to avoid future problems. After all, you are the one doing all the paperwork!
