Can I change my filing status after I file my tax return?
Yes, in most situations you can file an amendment to change your filing status.
The only exception is if you file an original return with the Married Filing Jointly filing status, you can't amend your return to file as Married Filing Separately unless you amend before April 15, 2026.
