Spouse Deployed Overseas - Filing Jointly

SD789 — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 07:01:28 GMT

I am filing taxes for me and my husband (jointly) and are looking to use Turbo Tax. However, my husband is deployed overseas with limited access to internet. I have all of our tax documents, can I file jointly through my account? Or will he need to create an account and enter his own information and then somehow we figure out a way to merge? This will be our first time using TurboTax, so trying to figure out the best way to get started.

Yes, you can file the 2023 tax return as Married Filing Jointly using your account on TurboTax, as long as your spouse has agreed to file jointly. He does not need a TurboTax account since you will be filing jointly.

So he doesnt need to e-sign anywhere? Just want to double check so that we are prepared.

No, there is nothing to sign when you are e-filing the tax return. The 2022 AGI from your 2022 federal tax return, Form 1040 Line 11, is your electronic signature.
