Are you filing a joint return? If so, you should remain consistent from year to year with the order of your names on the tax return. Please explain why you are trying to list your own name first. And....did you transfer a 2021 return in to the 2022 return already? What are you trying to accomplish?

Or.....are you filing married filing separately and trying to use your spouse's account? You cannot do that. If you start preparing another return in an account that has already been used by your spouse, you will overwrite the first return and it will be lost forever.

We can give you a better response if we know what you are doing---it is too hard to guess why you are trying to change the order of the names.
