I need to make changes to my filing status how can I do that

Please follow these instructions to make changes to your Information if you haven't filed your return:

  1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
  2. Click "Take Me To My Return"
  3. Click "My Info" from the left side of your screen
  4. Scroll down to “Marital Status/Filing Status” and click “Edit”

If your return has been already accepted by the IRS, you will have to file an amended return (1040X) to make changes. But you might want to wait until your refund or payment is processed. The IRS will only accept amended returns via mail.

The 1040X form for 2018 isn’t ready. Please, keep checking the following information on how to amend your return; it will be updated once the 2018 form is released:

If you have already submitted your tax return and need to fix anything, you will need to amend it.

Unless it's rejected, then you can make corrections and resubmit it. 

 

Here's an article that will give you instructions on how to amend a return.
