https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/investments-and-rental-properties/discussion/newly-married-trouble-with-dummy-prior-year-return/01/3843473#M130501 <P>I have used Turbo Tax for many years. I got married in 2025 and my husband and I created a dummy joint 2024 return in TT using the prior year information from both of our returns. Turbo Tax automatically used it to create our 2025 joint return. There is an item on one of the worksheets that shows we filed jointly last year but I can't change it. Is there any danger that the IRS will not like our return because we were both singe and filed that way for 2024? If so, how do I fix this? Please advise.

The worksheets don’t go to the IRS.&nbsp;</P> Wed, 18 Mar 2026 18:48:43 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/investments-and-rental-properties/discussion/re-newly-married-trouble-with-dummy-prior-year-return/01/3843478#M130502 Bsch4477 2026-03-18T18:48:43Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/investments-and-rental-properties/discussion/re-newly-married-trouble-with-dummy-prior-year-return/01/3844457#M130552 <P>be sure that for each of you, use the adjusted gross income from your separate 2024 returns. Not the dummy 2024 return which the IRS never got.&nbsp;</P> Thu, 19 Mar 2026 03:18:21 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/investments-and-rental-properties/discussion/re-newly-married-trouble-with-dummy-prior-year-return/01/3844457#M130552 Mike9241 2026-03-19T03:18:21Z
