Very important: Always ask your source a question like this. The norm is each signs individually but you never know.

only the people whos name is on the form signs it. regardless if the spouses file joint returs or not.
Don’t over think it plus its not our job as Notaries to decipher it.

This is further complicated on how they’ve signed their 1040s in previous years. Sometimes multiple 4506s are needed because more than one entity [lender, underwriters, title, etc.] need to verify income.
