ALL of your combined income must be entered on a joint tax return.

When you are entering income on a joint return, every income entry screen will either have a spot with both spouse’s names there, or when you click to enter a W-2, 1099R, etc. it will ask you by name which spouse it is for. You do not have to wait for the software to “ask” you for your spouse’s income. Go to the screens to enter your spouse’s W-2’s, 1099’s, etc. just like you did for your own income. Then look for your spouse’s name there.

Yes if you are filing a Joint return. Enter her W2 and info the same way you entered yours. When you start a W2 it will ask who it belongs to. And whenever Turbo Tax asks "you" it means either of you.

To enter a W2
Federal on left or top (Personal in Home & Business)
Click on Wages and Income tab
Then Wages and Salaries
Wages and Salaries – Start (you might have to click on Show More on right)
