Married and filing jointly, my spouses social security number is on my Schedule C, how do I change the information to reflect mine.

You will probably have to delete the schedule C and create a new one. When creating a schedule C, there should be a checkbox to assign it to one of the spouses. If you have fully entered your business information and only noticed the problem at the last minute, you may be able to change the SSN by manually editing the form in forms mode (only available in the Desktop version installed on your own computer, not on line) or you may need to call customer service.

Thanks for the reply

When I go to Income & Expenses, then "Self-Employment income and expenses" section it does show the business name under the "Self-Employment income and expenses". When I click edit, and then edit again, then scroll down to business summary and click edit it does list me as the person that is doing the work for the business. But when completing the taxes and in the review it wanted me to correct something in my assets and it shows me the Schedule C form, that is where I see both of our names and her SS number being used on the Schedule C.

Are you trying to use a Turbotax account that your spouse used alone for a her business, maybe when she was single and you are recently married? When changing marital status you almost always should start over with a brand new Turbotax account, since some hidden details are very difficult to change.

Regardless of how it happened, you could maybe fix this by editing the SSN using Turbotax desktop. If not, you either need to completely delete the schedule C and start over, or maybe contact customer support.
