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.
