    It's not typical for TurboTax to show only your spouse's middle initial instead of their first name. Here are the steps to correct this:

    Edit Personal Information:

    1. Sign into  TurboTax
    2. For TurboTax Online, go to the Personal profile screen.
    3. For TurboTax Desktop, open or continue your return and select Personal Info.
    4. Select "Edit" next to your spouse's name.
    5. Ensure the first name is correctly entered and save the changes

    Clear and Re-enter:

    • Clear the data field for your spouse's name and re-enter it to remove any ghost entries.
