If you are filing as Married Filing Separately you need to enter your spouse's name and Social Security number. This is the only information needed for your spouse.

If you filed as Married Filing Jointly using the 2022 TurboTax online editions and you are using the same User ID to start the 2023 return, then you need to create a new account and User ID if you are not going to file as Married Filing Jointly on the 2023 return.

Go to this TurboTax website and and click on Sign Up to start a new account - https://turbotax.intuit.com/

If I am filing a separate return why do I have to list my spouse’s information on my return?

Even if you file separate returns (the worst way to file) you each have to list each other's SSN's and some other information on your own tax return. The IRS can then cross check to make sure you are not "double dipping" for itemized deductions, dependents, etc.

If you are in a community property state, there is more information that will be needed.

Community property states: AZ, CA, ID, LA, NV, NM, TX, WA, WI
