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. Go to the screens to enter your spouse’s W-2’s, 1099’s, etc. just like you did for your own income. Then look for your spouse’s name there.

Go to Federal> Wages & Income>>Retirement Plans and Social Security (SSA1099 and 1099RRB) to enter your SSA1099. If you have set your return up correctly as a joint return, there will be a spot with each spouse's name for your SSA1099's.

Here is a screen shot from 2024 Online version. There are 2 columns to enter, one for each spouse. If you don't see 2 columns then go back to My Info and check if you are filing Joint.
