Names on return - Filing status

Married Filing jointly. Taxes finished and am ready to file. Noticed I listed my name first and my husbands as spouse, the opposite of what I have always done. Before I started taxes I upgraded to Premier. How do I correct this on my already completed taxes?

Names on return - Filing status

You would have to switch the order in the "Personal Info" section, then go through all the tax forms to see that everything is allocated to the proper person.

Depending on how complicated the return is, you might clear and start over.

If the names are reversed from the prior year, your return might be rejected by the IRS E-file system. 

 

HERE is a link that explains how to clear your return.
