Filing jointly, entered my employment income but can't add my wife's social security. Shouldn't it auto-populate? In review I show nothing entered for her.

No---your spouse's SS will not auto populate. You have to enter it by keying it in.

Go to Federal> Wages & Income>>Retirement Plans and Social Security (SSA1099 and 1099RRB) to enter your SSA1099.

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.
