Form 8949 Spouse Stock Sale Reporting

[syoung123]

Hello, my spouse and I both had stock sales with short term gains/losses in 2023 that I’ll use Form 8949 to report the sales.  Can I put both my spouse’s stock sales and my stock sales on one Form 8949 (Box A checked) sheet, or do I need to separate my spouse stock sales and my stock sales to put on separate Form 8949s?

No, there is no need to separate.  It is all one return for married filing jointly. 

Simply enter your sales and your return will be good.

If stock is owned in one name only,

it may make sense to use two Forms 8949 for your own record-keeping.

you each have a separate loss carryforward, for example
