If you started a joint return, didn't file it yet, and want to switch the primary taxpayer listed on the return to Married Filing Separately, follow these instructions. If you already transferred info over from last year's joint return, it's best to start over with a brand new return that has nothing transferred over.
File on paper via US Mail
write "court protection" in the other SSN box.
Do both parties have to do this?
If you have the SSN from a copy of a prior tax return, other tax document or IRS transcript (if not hidden), then you can enter it and e-File.
