I'm married. The program starts with the Husband. At no time other than Social Security does it for my wife's 1099-R information. Why? When I manually try to add them, it states my (husband's) additional income, not hers.

When you are entering income on a joint return, every income entry screen will either have a spot with both spouse’s names there, or when you click to enter a W-2, 1099R, etc. it will ask you by name which spouse it is for. You do not have to wait for the software to “ask” you for your spouse’s income. Go to the screens to enter your spouse’s W-2’s, 1099’s, etc. just like you did for your own income. Then look for your spouse’s name there.
