If you set up the return correctly as a joint return, every income screen has a spot for each spouse to add income, or will ask by name who the income is for when you click into it to enter a W-2, a SSA1099, a 1099R, etc.
To begin a new joint return on TurboTax:
You will not be able to merge two previous TT account to start your new joint return. You can transfer ONE of your 2022 returns into a new return, so choose the most complicated one. The other spouse’s information needs to be entered manually.
When you enter your own information in My Info, you have to answer the question "Were you married?" If you click the button for Married, then a drop down will appear that asks, "Do you want to file this return together with your spouse?" Then you choose yes to file a joint return. You would then enter your spouse's information into My Info. Whenever you are entering income information there should then be a spot for you and for your spouse's income information. Income screens will have spots with each spouse’s name—be careful to enter under the correct names.
