I filed my 2017 taxes and my wife now wants to file together in stead of separate. Can I amend mine or do we need to just fill out hers and mark that we are filing joint?

You'll need to amend yours to include your wife's information.

You wont be able to E-file a joint return (since your SSN has already been used when you filed separate), you'll just use your amended return to file to include both of your income/deductions.

The form wont be available until Feb 8th I believe.
