How can I change my personal info?

Click on My Info on the left side of the online program screen. Edit your personal information to change your filing status

That depends----did you already e-file? If you have not e-filed you can go back to MY INFO and click your name and change your filing status to married filing jointly. (or....to ???) If you already e-filed, you have to wait for the return to be rejected---and fix it then re-file. Or....if it was accepted, you have to wait for the return to be fully processed in order to amend and change your filing status .
