cred65 Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 I have forgotten the rules to amend returns to convert from one method to another. Help? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frazzled Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 As I recall, you can amend from MFS to MFJ but not from MFJ to MFS (after the due date of a return.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack from Ohio Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Frazzled is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pacun Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 At this point, since the extension date is gone, there is no question that MFJ cannot be changed to MFS by filing 1040X. I agree with previous posting but I am not sure if the rule includes extensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrans Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 You can change from MFS to MFJ within 3 years of the due date of the original return (without regard to extensions); tyou can change from MFJ to MFS by the due date of the original return (including extensions). IRC section 6013. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
