If you are filing Married Filing Jointly then both of your names are shown when entering the SSA-1099 benefits from box 5 of the form.
If you are only seeing an income screen with your name on it, did you set up your return correctly as a joint return?
When you enter your own information in My 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.
When you prepare a joint return you include all the information for both spouses on the SAME tax return. Include all of your personal information, all of your income from every source, all dependents (if any), all credits and deductions for both of you. You get ONE refund with both names on it.
