After filing as HoH I I got hit with large penalty because I missed the deadline while I owe tax to States and Federal. Can I ask the IRS to amend my federal return and re-file a joint tax ? is this possible. I'm overwhelmed with this Turbo-Tax SW.
I'm not sure why you would owe a penalty for the 2022 tax season, it's not even past the filing deadline yet. Were you asking about a prior year (2021 or earlier)?
If you filed HOH, but were legally married and want to amend to Married Filing Jointly, that is allowable at any time up to 3 years after the original filing deadline. Both spouses must agree.
Has your spouse already filed? If not, that will make it easier to amend. If you have both filed, you may need to post back for more details. You should not file your amended returns until your original returns are processed and any refund is paid.
