When I was entering W2's I accidentally had told Turbotax that is was my wife's W2.
Later I saw that and changed it to me, but when I changed that W2 to be mine my refund went down by about $700. I would think if I am married filing jointly it wouldn't matter whose name it is assigned to to calculate taxes.
She also had a W2 but she works part time and makes a fraction of what is on my W2. Out of curiosity I actually changed both her W2 and my W2 to my name and again I got the higher refund amount.
So it's only when I assign the W2's to the right person that my refund goes down. Does that make sense?
