I need to add SSA Benefits to my spouse's income, but it keeps asking me to add it to my own, how do I add it to my spouse?

Did you correctly begin a joint return?  There should be a spot for each of you to add income with your names next to or near the spots.  Look at the screens very carefully.

When you enter your own information in Personal 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.
