Can I do my taxes married and jointly with the same account

When you prepare a joint return you use ONE account and file ONE tax return.  And yes, you can use online for a joint return.

 

To begin a new joint return on TurboTax:

You will not be able to merge two previous TT account to start your new joint return.  You can transfer ONE of your 2022 returns into a new return, so choose the most complicated one.  The other spouse’s information needs to be entered manually.

 

 

When you enter your own information in My Info, you have to answer the question "Were you married?"  If you click the button for Married, then a drop down will appear that asks, "Do you want to file this return together with your spouse?"  Then you choose yes to file a joint return.  You would then enter your spouse's information into My Info.  Whenever you are entering income information there should then be a spot for you and for your spouse's income information.  Income screens will have spots with each spouse’s name—be careful to enter under the correct names.

Yes.  If you are now married and have a TurboTax account that used to prepare your taxes while you were single, you can use that account for a Married Filing Joint return.  You will just need to go back to the personal information section and change the answer to some questions and add your spouse.
