Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

When i went through steps it didnt ask me to enter my wifes w2 info . I selected to file married and filing jointly .

How do i go back and add her w2 or does it automatically input her info . Turbo tax rejected my return due to my wifes social security card still has maiden name on it instead of married name .

Since your return was rejected, you can go back into your return and make the required changes.  Your wife's W-2 will not automatically be included without you either typing it in or importing it into your return.

 

The following TurboTax help article will guide you to entering the additional W-2:

 

Where do I add or enter a second W-2?

 

Also, be sure to edit the information in the My Info section of your return.  Enter your wife's name just as it is on her Social Security Card.  Otherwise, the records at the IRS will not match and it will be rejected again.

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.
