Switch order of primary and secondary tax payers

How do I switch primary and secondary tax payers on my turbo tax forms. There is a question about military service that cannot be answered by the secondary tax payer. Only the primary can claim military status???? Why. I am military and my spouse is not. If I say no to the primary, TT then only asks if spouse was military in the secondary option. I was military and want it on the return!

ORDER OF NAMES ON A JOINT RETURN  https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/1901551-does-the-order-of-the-names-on-a-joint-return-matter

You are missing something when you go through the screens in My Info.  It asks you if you were active duty military and it will also ask if the spouse who was entered on a joint return was active duty military.  Click edit by your name and go through the screens again.
