Sorry you took offense---but the fact is you did make a mistake and in order to file a correct joint tax return you will need to amend the original one after it has been fully processed by the IRS. Sugar coating the reply would not change that.
See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-change-correct-return-a...
Amended returns take about six months -- or longer-- to be processed by the IRS.
