@TPergu60 If you were still legally married at the end of 2024, your filing choices are to file married filing separately or married filing jointly. You can file a joint return IF both spouses agree to file that way. Since your spouse already filed a MFS return, if the two of you now want to file jointly, your spouse must amend their return to change it to a joint return and then enter all of your income and information onto that return, using a Form 1040X.
To amend the return:
Wait until your original return has been fully processed before you amend, and make sure you have saved a pdf of the original return before you amend. (If you do not save it as a pdf, the amended return will overwrite the original, and the original will be lost forever)

Do not expect quick results from amending. It can take four months or more for the IRS to process an amended return.
