MFJ to MFS


Lloyd Hudson

Recommended Posts

Have a couple that after filing MFJ discovered other issues that necessitate filing separate. One is self employed and the other is an employee at another firm. I amend leaving primary on amended return. Do I then amend the original return with the spouse? Or just file an original return MFS. Summary 1 amended return or 2 amended returns?

Normally that can only be done by filing the two MFS returns before April 15.   Is this extended now to July 15?  Most likely, but does anyone know for sure?

Amend the Primary on the 1040 MFJ to MFS and create a MFS for the Secondary.

Good point about the date, Max. Probably 15 July, because everything that starts with "1040" moves. But, I'd probably aim to get it in 15 April unless I found something official moving the deadline. Lloyd has time. I got a couple things off my desk that I couldn't verify postponed deadlines.
