But switching order of the spouses keeps your brain sharp having to remember which one is the taxpayer and which one is the spouse. 😁
There is no problem from an IRS viewpoint.
But as IronMan pointed out, you need to make sure you designate the proper taxpayer/spouse for each entry.
My 'default' has always been to enter the man/husband first. I don't mean it as a sexist treatment, but it is for ME so I can correctly treat the taxpayer/spouse entries correctly.
I definitely don't mean this in a negative or sexist regard, but I charge a little more for those who want the woman/wife listed first, because it takes ME more effort to remember how to mark the taxpayer/spouse designations in the software.
