Just curious as to what my new husband's contribution (or subtraction) to my taxes would be and Turbo Tax won't let me get past entering my W2 info first. I would like to enter his info and see the tax implication and then go back and fill in my info.
UPDATED FOR TAX YEAR 2019
The desktop version of TurboTax offers a What-If Worksheet. It's probably easiest to enter the information on both you and your husband in the return first. Then open the What-If worksheet and delete his information in the next column to get a side-by-side comparison.
You will get error messages if you try to enter your W-2s, etc. as spouse when there is no taxpayer. To open the What-If worksheet, please follow these steps:

Very Very helpful. Although I have not tried it yet I'm sure it will work because your instructions are so good.
You can also save your return with another name to test in. Go to FILE - Save As. You can make several new returns. Be sure to name them so you can tell them apart.
thank you. I knew there had to be some way to do it.... someone from Turbotax answered and said there is actually a what-if form under forms as well.
