I recently got married of July of last year however when filing my taxes my ex husband s name is on my taxes when it should be my new husband

How do I fix this

Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You start a NEW account for you and your new spouse.  Do not try to use an account that you used previously with your ex.  It will be too messy and will still have stuff from your ex in it.

Best Wishes!

Here’s info for both Divorced and married

Divorced
If you used Turbo Tax last year you should start a brand new account for yourself and not transfer from last year.  Online is only good for 1 return.  But you can use the same email address for 5 accounts.   How to start another return in the Online version      <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3288574">https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/3288574</a>

Married
You can not transfer from or combine 2 returns or accounts.  Just pick the return for the spouse that has the most complicated return to enter or has any depreciation or business or  more investments.  Or use the account for whoever you want to be listed first going forward (by the way you can not change the order of the names).  Then add the other spouse's name, ssn and info to it.

You should usually  file a Joint return which is only 1 return combined for the both of you.  Make sure to stick with this one account for the future.  Just ignore the other spouse's account.
