    If you are filing as Married Filing Jointly you enter your spouse's income information in the same sections of the program as your income.  There will be screens for each income section that ask to select who the income or form is for, by name.

    Are you filing a joint return?   If you set your joint return up correctly, every income screen will have a spot with each spouse's name.   Or as you click to add income it will ask which spouse it is for.

    I'm attempting to file a joint return for my wife and I for the 2024 tax year. I cannot add her income information, it only allows me to add income information for myself.

    @eng198881 When you were entering your personal information and selected Married, did you also indicate that you will be filing this tax return with your spouse?  If so, you are filing as Married Filing Jointly, and on a joint tax return every income section in the TurboTax program will ask who the income or form belongs to, by Name.

     

    Go back to the income sections you need to enter for your spouse.
