You are correct, it does not matter. If either of you effected transactions involving cryptocurrency as contemplated by the question on Form 1040, then you should answer that question with a "yes." Filing MFJ means that the return includes all income, deductions, and credits for both taxpayers, including whether either taxpayer had transactions involving digital assets. Digital assets include cryptocurrencies.

thank you
it does matter because carryover losses go with the spouse who owns the account.
a 1099-B from a brokerage will belong to one spouse or the other.
when you don't have a 1099-B, you need to keep your own records.
