Do I need to have my spouse sign the 1040 if I'm self preparing? This is the first year we're filing MFJ, so I've never dealt with this before.

You’ve come to an Intuit site supporting tax professionals, and you may be looking for support as an individual taxpayer. Please visit the TurboTax Help site for support.

If you are mailing a 1040, both of you need to sign.

Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

I personally sign the 8879 as both taxpayer and ERO, and have my spouse sign the 8879, even though the return itself is marked self-prepared.

"MFJ" <== all of these people should sign
