If I'm married filing separately, what do I have to enter of my wife's (income, retirement accounts, savings, etc. ?)

Do I need to add any of her retirement or other accounts?

If you do not live in a community property state you only need to enter her name and Social Security number on your tax return, nothing else.

 

However if you live in a community property state it gets much more complex when filing Married Filing Separately.  See this - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/taxation/married-filing-separately-commu...
