Question

How can I fix TurboTax to pick up correct income numbers? It is not picking up the correct numbers already included in the file.

The system is only picking up one person's income even though it is listed as Married Filing Jointly.

When you are entering income on a joint return, every income entry screen will either have a spot with both spouse’s names there, or when you click to enter a W-2, 1099R, etc. it will ask you by name which spouse it is for. You do not have to wait for the software to “ask” you for your spouse’s income. Go to the screens to enter your spouse’s W-2’s, 1099’s, etc. just like you did for your own income. Then look for your spouse’s name there.
