Why can't I fill Jointly?

You can file a joint return, even if your spouse had no income for the year. Make sure all of your spouses W-2 and 1099 income forms are included in the return before you file. 

 

To change your federal filing status to Married Filing Jointly using TurboTax Online:

  1. Go to the Personal profile screen, and under Your info select your name, then select Revisit.
  2. Continue until you reach the About your household screen.
    • Under Married, change the selection to Plan to file jointly.
    • Select Continue and follow the instructions.
