@kjsgms Then go back to the income entry screen and edit the W-2 and put the correct SSN there.   When you file a joint return, every income screen will have a spot for each spouse, or when you go the screen it will ask you which one the income is for.  You have to be very careful as you enter income.

Since you already paid you c cannot clear and start over, but you can go back to the interview screens and make corrections as needed.   Did you somehow enter your SSA1099 under your spouse's name, or vice versa?   Or did you enter the wrong SSN for one of you in MY INFO?

I saved my documents but went back to review and something happened and information I previously had correct is now coming up wrong.  I had one error that had to do with overtime and it had me go back but now when I review it shows my SS # under my husbands W-2

Thank you I went back and fixed the W-2 status and now it's looking correct.
