Both my husband and I filed our 2024 taxes as Single because we filed for a divorce in 2024 and received the final judgement on Dec of 2024. However, we didn't realize the divorce wasn't actually finalized until April of 2025. (We did actually remarry towards the end of 2025.. but that's not affecting the issue here) Normally, we'd just amend status to MFS, but here's the problem:
We filed our Single tax returns based on the fact that we're splitting the estimated tax payment in half. He has just received a mail from the IRS stating that they're not seeing any payment on his account so he needs to pay a bunch of balance.
Can I just amend my tax return to MFJ and assume the problem on my husband's side will get resolved? One thing, though, I still haven't received my tax refund yet and is still showing processing at this time.
