After you file

What do you mean?   Did you already file a return claiming the Married filing Separately filing status?   If so, you have to amend (and file) that return to change it to Married filing Jointly.    If you did not file the original return, you can just edit your filing status and file it now.  

 

But if you already filed a MFS return, you have to file an amendment to change it to MJS.
