Get your taxes done using TurboTax
If you set up your joint return correctly in My Info then every income entry screen will have a spot with each spouse's name next to it so that you can enter income for each of you.
When you enter your own information in My Info, you have to answer the question "Were you married?" If you click the button for Married, then a drop down will appear that asks, "Do you want to file this return together with your spouse?" Then you choose yes to file a joint return. You would then enter your spouse's information into Personal Info.
Whenever you are entering income information there should then be a spot for you and for your spouse's income information. Your names will be shown on the screens.
When you prepare a joint return you include all the information for both spouses on the SAME tax return. Include all of your personal information, all of your income from every source, all dependents (if any), all credits and deductions for both of you. You get ONE refund with both names on it.
