My wife and I are filing jointly. When I enter a Form 1099-B, it doesn't ask whether the Form is for me or my wife. Isn't that important to identify?

No. On a joint return it is joint income. Only W-2's and 1099-R's ask that because Social Security/Medicare has individual limits and retirement income is per person.

any carryover losses on Schedule D will go with the spouse who owns the account.

It's up to you to keep records about that.

Hello, I am filling jointly with a spouse for the first time this year. I would like to clear out any imported data from previous years and start fresh. Is this possible?
