In the personal information you can change your names around, meaning you can make your husband the taxpayer and you the spouse or vice versa.  Select "My Info" (online) or "Personal Info" (desktop) and make the change.

CAUTION: It's important to check and/or change the owner of each type of income (W2s, and other types of income). To answer the health insurance questions it doesn't matter who is listed first on the return.
