Re: [taxchat] MFS and wants to Amend to MFJ

They will always let you file jointly...just use the MFS return as the originally filed numbers to amend.  I've done this several times.

Subject: Re: [taxchat] MFS and wants to Amend to MFJ

Subject:

If one spouse files separately and then the couple decides it's a mistake and want to file an amended return JOINTLY, is that allowed?  In other words can a couple file an amended return filing JOINTLY when one spouse had already filed as Married but filing SEPARATELY?

 

I seem to remember some sort of prohibition related to changing filing status from MFJ to MFS, but is going from MFS to MFJ allowed?

 

Thanks,

 

Marc
