Change Married Filing Jointly to Married Filing Separately

I filed my 2018 Taxes as Married Filing Jointly (MFJ) and would like to amend that to Married Filing Separately (MFS).

 

How do I do that?

See the instructions for amending here. Note: The 1040X form is not quite ready yet. When it is, the link for 2018 will update in the instructions.

Thank you.  And once it's ready, I'll amend mine to MFS with a 1040X, and then file a new 1040 MFS for my wife?
