The Turbotax shows my name on my spouses 2017 W2. How do I edit this or do I need to edit it?

You will want the W-2 to reflect the proper person. See steps to edit below:

Since you mention you are preparing a tax return for 2017, there for you must be using a CD/Download version of TurboTax.  When filing a joint return, there is an option to say whose W-2 is being entered near the top of the W-2 entry screen.  See sample screenshot.  Therefore, you will want to go back to the W-2 entry section and edit the W-2 to select to which of you the W-2 belongs.

Steps to be brought back to W-2 entry section:

  1. Search for W-2 in the Find option at the right hand top of the screen and select the Jump to link.
  2. Select Work on my W-2 now and Continue.
    1. If you've already entered a W-2, select the EDIT button for the W-2 you need to change.
