Does it matter whose name is listed first on tax return?

[matilda100-]

this is first time filing online. In the past all tax preparers used my husband's name first. Since he is not the one doing the online work,I used my name first. Is this OK?

If you filed jointly last year and prior years, it's best to use that same person's name first each time. Otherwise, it could result in processing delays for your taxes.

Does it matter whose name goes first on a joint return?

Husband died in March of 2018 and I put my name 1st last year, and this year the cpa helper made me put husbands 1st. Will that mess my return up?
