Can I file my tax and my wife's at the same time, BUT with different versions of Turbotax, since my wife's return is simple and can use the free one?

Can I file my tax and my wife's at the same time, BUT with different versions of Turbotax, since my wife's return is simple and can use the free one?

It depends.

 

No, not if you are trying to file you return as Married Filing Jointly. If you are filing a joint return, you will use one account and enter all information, including all tax forms for both of you.  

 

Yes, if you are filing as Married Filing separately.  If you are filing separate returns, you can each file using whichever version of TurboTax works for you.
