Question

Me and my new spouse filed on turbo tax separately last year, is there a way I can pull their previous years returns so we can file jointly?

In 2018 me and my now spouse filed single on separate accounts in turbotax. We just got married in 2018, so for 2018 taxes its asking to pull their previous years tax returns. Is there anyway to get the previous years tax returns pulled over without having to pay $60 for them?

TTax does not allow multiple accounts to be combined into one account (or to split a single account into multiple accounts).

You will have to manually add the information from one account to the account you have chosen to retain. Generally it is better to pick the more complicated account and manually add the information from the other account.

The IRS does not care whose name appears first. However, once you select which name is the 'Taxpayer' and which is the 'Spouse' the IRS wants you to keep the same sequence year after year.
