I have already filed my 2018 taxes as MFJ.
How do I change that to MFS?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
First of all, wait till your return is approved and fully processed and you have received your refund or your payment has cleared. Then come back later to click here 2 018 Amend to amend your return. Note that as IRS is still updating the electronic version of the amendment form, you can't use the program to amend yet.
In your own account, you would change your filing status to MFS under the section "My Info" and ONLY include your portion of income and "deductions and credits". For your spouse, you will need to create a new MFS return. If you are using TurboTax online, this requires a separate user account with a different password. The separate account will also be charged separate fees unless you qualify to file for free.
