When you file as Married Filing Jointly you enter all the tax information for each of you on only one Form 1040 for the federal tax return.
How did you each file last year? Did you just get married in 2022?
Here's some general info on getting married. Did you both use Turbo Tax last year? You can not transfer from or combine 2 returns or accounts. Just pick the return for the spouse that has the most complicated return to enter or has any depreciation or business or more investments. Or use the account for whoever you want to be listed first going forward (by the way you can not change the order of the names). Then add the other spouse's name, ssn and info to it.
You should usually file a Joint return which is only 1 return combined for the both of you. Make sure to stick with this one account for the future. Just ignore the other spouse's account.
