Uh oh.....did you enter it?   If you did, it should be up there near the top of your Form 1040.

 

 

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 My Info.  Whenever you are entering income information there should then be a spot for you and for your spouse's income information.  Income screens will have spots with each spouse’s name—be careful to enter under the correct names.

No Name.jpg

 

My spouse name does appear on the 1040 form but her name does not appear in the app when filling in the information.

There is a radio button but her name does not appear next to it.

That is weird.   It looks like there is a button for her name but no name next to the checked button.   Contact customer support.
