I am completing my '24 tax return for my spouse & I. TurboTax allows me to enter my own information, but does not allow information for my spouse. Am I missing something?

When you are entering income on a joint return, every income entry screen will either have a spot with both spouse’s names there, or when you click to enter a W-2, 1099R, etc. it will ask you by name which spouse it is for. You do not have to wait for the software to “ask” you for your spouse’s income.

Possibly, TurboTax will prompt you before you enter a form for the person it belongs to.

I suggest you go back to My Info and confirm your entries.

On the left sidebar select My Info

Select the down arrow next to your name
[Revisit]
Continue to About your household
This should indicate Married and Plan to file jointly
[Continue]
Under Your household
You should see your spouses name
Click the down arrow, and [Revisit]
Be sure tat all of her information is posted.

If you enter a W-2 it should ask Who does this W-2 belong to?
