When filing jointly is there a way to link accounts?

I’m trying to access my husbands 2017 tax return but when doing so it prompts him to pay for an upgrade since he didn’t file with his account. We filed jointly through my account. So is there away to link accounts to show that he already starting filing his taxes?

No. TurboTax accounts cannot be combined. 

You will not be able to merge two previous TT account to start your new joint return.  You can transfer ONE of your 2017 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 Personal 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 Personal Info.  Whenever you are entering income information there should then be a spot for you and for your spouse's income information.
