My wife's W2 says her maiden name not her married name. How do we file this?

At the personal info section, enter her name as it is currently registered with the Social Security Administration (SSA). Don't worry about the fact that TurboTax (TT) enters the W-2 with her new name that doesn't match the actual W-2. The IRS computers match the SSA database.
