You have to click on "Start a new return" to file a couple return. Here are the steps to file the couple tax return:
- Sign in to your TurboTax account
- Select Start a new return
- Select the TurboTax Online product you wish to use, and indicate how you did your taxes last year
- On the Welcome step, select My spouse/partner and me under the question Who are you preparing this return for?
- Follow the prompts to enter your personal information. On the What's your marital status? step, select Married or Living Common-law
- At Do you want to prepare your returns together?, select Yes
- Select Continue and proceed with completing both your returns simultaneously.
- Remember, when done, you will need to Netfile the two separate returns.
If you indicated that you used TurboTax to do your return last year, the software will guide you to transfer your information but not your spouse's. The software will only be able to transfer both next year when transferring this spousal return.
Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
