Married filed jointly account access and two-factor authentication - TurboTax enabling financial abuse

I am married filing jointly with my spouse, so TurboTax forces us to use the same account to file our taxes. There's no way for us to set up our account so I can have access without asking him to send me the two-factor authentication code that goes to his email. This means he has full control over my ability to access and monitor our/my taxes. There is no way for us to add a second email onto the account for two-factor authentication.

 

Although my partner gives me access whenever I ask, this system is not only inconvenient, but reminiscent of times when when women were not allowed to open bank accounts or credit cards without their husband's permission. You MUST ensure both parties have equal access to tax documents.
