I am filing as single as I divorced last year. It is pulling in my ex spouse's ssn and not mine. How do I fix this?

If your ex spouse was listed first on the tax return, then you should start a new file of your own so that none of the old information carries forward. Simply begin a new return with your own user name and begin your tax return.

If you used Turbo Tax last year you should start a brand new account for yourself and not transfer from last year.  You can not remove a spouse or switch the order of names.

TurboTax will not allow you to remove the primary taxpayer on the return. And you should not try to change the order of names.  If you were listed as the spouse and want to be the primary taxpayer now or delete the primary person, you will need to start a new return by logging out and starting over with a new account and new user name and password.  You will not be able to transfer from the prior year.

Online is only good for 1 return per account.  But you can use the same email address for 5 accounts.   You can start another return in TurboTax Online by:

1. Logging out if you are in your account
2. Choose what TurboTax Online product you want to use for the second return
3. Create your account screen
4. Set up a new login for the second return
5. Start working on the new return
