No. You can use a different name on your tax return. You need to use the name that’s on your current Social Security card. So if you haven’t updated Social Security use your maiden name.

Here's some general info on getting married. Did you both use Turbo Tax last year?

You can not transfer from or combine 2 returns or accounts. Just pick the return for the spouse that has the most complicated return to enter or has any depreciation or business or more investments. Or use the account for whoever you want to be listed first going forward (by the way you can not change the order of the names). Then add the other spouse's name, ssn and info to it.

You should usually file a Joint return which is only 1 return combined for the both of you. Make sure to stick with this one account for the future. Just ignore the other spouse's account.

No. Use your current last name in the Personal Info section.

Just enter your W-2 as typed.

Make sure that you properly identify the owner of the W-2 when you enter it.

It's the Social Security number that removes any confusion.
