Can I switch taxpayer to spouse line on 1040A showing taxpayer as wife and spouse as husband after I already input our tax information?

You can switch the taxpayer and spouse by changing the info in My Info in TurboTax.  However, if you already enter your income, you must also change all documents to the correct individual.  It would be easier to clear the return and start over to prevent any errors from occurring on the return.  To remove and restart your return, follow these steps in TurboTax Online:

 

  1. Sign in to TurboTax and open or continue your return, if you haven't already.
  2. Select Tax Tools from the left menu, then Clear & Start Over.
  3. Answer Yes to confirm.
