My spouse are separated and in the middle of a divorce. Can I file an extension without him agreeing to do so?

You can file an extension. You may end up filing MFS or HOH depending on the circumstances rather than filing with your spouse. Use What Is My Filing Status? for the best choice.

Remember, extension is for time to file, not pay. You can make payments here.

If I filed an extension with my wife as filing jointly/married can I change it and file as married filing separately and go ahead to file my return now?
