No, because both names are listed on the 8938 report since you refiling jointly. If you don't see a specific box for distinguishing between your accounts and your wife's accounts, you can still provide the necessary details in the appropriate sections in the form.
If working in Turbo Tax online, the program does not give you an option to distinguish whose account it is. Since it doesn't have this option, the IRS will assume it's either your account, your wife's, or a joint account. The fact that it is reported on the 8938 is sufficient in this case.
Just a FYI, you do have an FBAR reporting requirement. If you answered the question in the initial interview if you had ACCOUNTS OVER $10,000, you will have an option to file this with Turbo tax. This opportunity will present itself when you file your return and the option will appear that if you wish to file this with Turbo Tax, you may do so for $49.
