@dnotestone It is correct that you can allocate. But to make the change to Married Filing Separate, it must be done prior to April 15th as @xmasbaby0 stated.
If this is the case, you should contact the IRS for clarification and next steps to avoid potential underpayment penalties and interest that would be imposed on your wife's amended tax return. If you don't get the assistance you need, you can reach out to the Taxpayer Advocate Service.
