Christian Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 Now that they have filed separately can they file a 1040-X and change this down the road ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gail in Virginia Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 You can file separately and then amend to joint, but you cannot file joint and then amend to separate. At least that is my memory of how this works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathyc2 Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 You should be able to just amend her MFS to MFJ adding his items as the adjustment. You don't have to file him as MFS first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted August 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 Thanks for the input. I'll discuss this possibility with them to see if they want to do that. Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
