You have the option to invite your spouse or another person to be an additional user on your TaxCaddy account. Adding an additional user allows them to do everything you can on your account, except sign documents, mark documents as reviewed, and access your Settings (i.e. Changing your name, email address, profile picture, password, security questions, or push notification settings). Adding an additional user as a spouse allows them to sign spouse related documents. You can revoke an additional user's access at any time if they are not connected as a spouse user. If necessary, a spouse user can delete their own account or you can delete your account then create a new TaxCaddy account.
