Yes, that is fine. Use 1040X, put the data from the already filed MFS return in column A and the combined info in C.

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
