Who do I Admend

How can I redo a tax return after I've filed

You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed.  It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox

Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return.  If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return. 

 If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund.  THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and mail it in. You will need to use a form called a 1040X. You cannot e-file an amended return.  They have to be mailed, and it takes at least 2-3 months for the IRS to process an amended return.  Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself.  Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed

You will need to amend your 2019 tax return and the only change (that you've indicated) you will need to make is to your filing status and the line items that are affected by the status that you filed as compared to the change in status (amount of standard deduction you are entitled to, the information including SS# of your spouse, and anything else that would pertain to you). If your spouse filed single, however, then when the IRS runs the amended return along with his/her SS# you've provided on the amended return, they will most likely reject it because he would also have to have filed married - including MFS and MFJ - meaning that you both would need to file the same way.
