Can my spouse (whose TurboTax account we use to file jointly) invite me via my TurboTax account so I can help file, so I don't have to keep bugging her for 2FA codes?

We both have TurboTax accounts. I do most of the filing but do it through hers, but I want to do it via my account. Does TurboTax offer a way for the primary filer in a family to invite another family member to help them file taxes in their primary account? Right now, I have to use her login info, as well as her 2FA codes, to gain access. But that can be frustrating if she's working or otherwise unavailable to look at her phone. I'd like to login to her account with my own credentials. Is there no way to link the accounts like that?

Sorry, there can only be one User ID and one Password per TurboTax online account.

And if you have been filing using her account you should stick with her account going forward.   Maybe you should consider switching to the Desktop program.  Although you would have to use the same computer.  You can transfer your 2021 return or move 2022 from Online to the Desktop program for free.

 

The CD/Download Desktop you buy and install the program, which can do unlimited returns. The returns are only saved on your computer and can not be accessed from anywhere else. And not saved at Turbo Tax. So Be sure to save Frequently and make backups. You get 5 federal efile for free. In Deluxe and above you get 1 state PROGRAM download to prepare unlimited state returns (in that state). Each state return including the first one is $20 early or $25 to efile or you can print and mail the state for free. The Desktop programs do not have the expert help that is available to add to Online versions.

 

Desktop also has many other features and advantages over the Online version. You can do more than 1 return. You can see and enter into the actual forms. It has a What-If worksheet. And you can use a lower version because all the Desktop versions have ALL the same forms. You just get more help in the higher versions. In online you have to upgrade to enter certain kinds of income. Like Premier for investments.


And the Desktop program is always available even after the year ends. Which is good if you ever need to amend your return after online website is closed or get audited and need your tax records.

 

You can buy the Desktop CD/Download program here,

OPTIONS :

 

1) change the phone number associated with HER  account so YOUR phone gets the code

2) turn off the 2FA tool
