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 Federal>Wages and Income and click Add W-2

You enter W-2 forms in the Wages and Income section, then Wages and Salaries, then Form W-2:

TurboTax should ask if you have another W-2 to enter. I'm assuming you are "Married filing jointly", so when you say yes, it will ask you if this W-2 is for you or your wife. Then it will ask if you want to import the W-2 from a payroll service or enter the data yourself. Pick one and proceed.

If TurboTax Online did not ask for the spouse's W-2, have you elected the married filing jointly filing status?

Select My Info down the left side of the screen.
At the screen About your household, verify that you are Married and that you Plan to file jointly.

Enter the spouse's W-2 by following these steps:

Down the left side of the screen, click on Federal.
Down the left side of the screen, click on Wages & Income.
Click to the right of Job (W-2).
Select Add a new W-2.
