Did you efile, and if so, was the return accepted or rejected?

Stop.  You cannot do that.   Wait for the original return to be fully processed and then you can amend to file jointly with your spouse.

 

 

Wait until your original return has been fully processed before you amend, and make sure you have saved a pdf of the original return before you amend. (If you do not save it as a pdf, the amended return will overwrite the original, and the original will be lost forever)

 

 

See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a tax return -

Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.
