Where do I imput my wife's income at?

[SharonC1]

Are you filing a joint return with your wife?

[donfl1964]

yes

[SharonC1]

Are you asking about W-2?  If not, what are you asking about inputting?

[donfl1964]

yes, I have a 1099 and my wife has a w-2.  I imputed all my information but can not find where to put hers.

[SharonC1 · Accepted solution]

To input your wife's W-2, go to the Federal tab, select Wages and Income, select Job (W-2).  This is where you will add a W-2 (yours or your wife's).

For all entries like this (W-2, 1099s, etc), select who "This W-2 belongs to"...

I PUT IN MY INCOME NOW HOW DO I GET TO THE PLACE ON MY RETURN TO PUT IN MY WIFE'S INCOME?

[MIMIDELAUNE]

YES

The same way as yours but be sure to add it under her name.

To add a  W2 just type w2 (small W)  in the search box at the top of your return and click on Jump To the W2

OR  To Add a W2 enter it under

Federal Taxes on the left side

Wages & Income  

Then Wages and Salaries- Click the Start or Update button

Then if you are married you should have 2 buttons...Add w-2 for (taxpayer name) and Add w-2 for (spouse name). Click on the correct button to add a W-2.

I DON'T SEE JOD 2.  MY WIFE HAS 1099 R 

[VolvoGirl]

Oh sorry, you didn't say what kind of income.

The easiest way to get to the 1099-R entry screen is to simply search for 1099-R (upper- or lower-case, with or without the dash) in your TurboTax program and then click the "Jump to" link in the search results.

Enter a 1099R under

Federal Taxes Tab or Personal (Home & Business)

Wages & Income at the top

Then scroll way down to Retirement Plans and Social Security,

Then IRA, 401(k), Pension Plans (1099R) - click Start or Revisit

There are 4 boxes.  Be sure to pick the right box for the kind of 1099R you got.

If you are filing a Joint return be sure to pick which person it is for.

Don't enter the bank or broker name and don't try to import it.  It is just as fast and easy to manually enter it.  At the bottom pick -  Change How I enter my Form

Then on the next screen pick I'll Type it in Myself
