Additionally, to change your filing status for a previous year, you need to AMEND that tax return.
This means you file a 1040X including the change.
As stated above, if you were married that tax year, and you are eligible for a different filing status, you can change the filing status from Married Filing Separately to:
Married Filing Jointly
Head of Household
Qualifying Surviving Spouse
If you were not married that tax year, you might be changing a different filing status.
You can't change from Married Filing Jointly to Married Filing Separately if this is after the due date of that original return.
