I'm being asked to "add all the w-2s you need to". Do I add my wife's w2 now? I'm filing jointly with her.

Yes.   When you file a joint return all of your combined income goes on one tax return.

 

 

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. Go to the screens to enter your spouse’s W-2’s, 1099’s, etc. just like you did for your own income.  Then look for your spouse’s name there.

Yes.  If you are filing a joint return, then you will need to add all of your income to the same return.  So you will click add a w-2 and add her W-2.  Also if she has any other income sources they will need to be added as well.
