No.  You must 'Add another W-2' after you enter your own, then select who the owner of the second W-2 is, which should be your spouse,  See the image below.

The W-2 for your spouse is entered in the W-2 section of the program by clicking Add W-2 for (spouse's first name)

 

Click on Federal on the left side of the program screen

Click on Wages & Income

On the W-2 shown, click on Edit/Add

I added another W2 but it did not give the option for my spouse's name. It just added it and I'm unable to do anything else. Not sure what to do now

Go back and edit the w-2.   At the top of the screen, you are able to choose if the document belongs to you or your spouse.   @Davidblah

Thank you DawnC. Unfortunately it's not allowing me to edit or even look at any options. It's just showing I added a second set.

The home page has the info for my return. I think that it took all my info and I finalized it without me being able to enter my wife's info. It didn't prompt me to add anything else. It looks completed

Similar thing happened to me. Filed and submitted our return, never asked for my wife’s W-2, or had any instructed telling me it wasn’t added/was needed. Filled out all of her information, health insurance, Roth, etc.

 

Return was accepted, had to then amend the return, and now instead of a refund, I will have to pay the IRS the initial refund back, which I have not even received yet, and now we owe. Very disappointed with how this was a missed step from the TurboTax software. Especially having to pay for the service, and obviously my filings weren’t “100% accurate” as the guarantee stated.

After you enter one W-2, there is a box you must select to add additional W-2s - 'Add a new W-2'. See the image below.
