Combining two accounts

I would like to combine two accounts we have into one account, if possible. One is under my husbands name, and one under my own, from before we were married.

Sorry you can not merge  accounts. Just pick one and stick with that one.

Did you get married in 2016?  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.
