In TurboTax, the Taxpayer that starts the return is listed first.

If you are using the same TurboTax account, the primary Taxpayer cannot be changed.

If you filed Jointly last year, it is unwise to change the order of the Taxpayers listed since the AGI needed to e-file will not match the IRS computer system, but it can be done.

In TurboTax, you would need to Clear and Start Over or establish a new account.

TurboTax will not allow you to remove the primary taxpayer on the return. And you should not try to change the order of names. If you were listed as the spouse and want to be the primary taxpayer now or delete the primary person, you will need to start a new return by logging out and starting over with a new account and new user name and password. You will not be able to transfer from the prior year.

Online is only good for 1 return per account. But you can use the same email address for 5 accounts. How to start another return in the Online version
