Single to married change

Zimers · ‎April 14, 2025

We filed 2 separate returns ( married filing separately) in 2021

i want to amend our taxes to married filing jointly so we can claim Turin expenses for that year and receive the American opportunity credit

What do I filled and what do I submit to show this ?

The good news is that you only need to amend one of the returns; the IRS will disregard the other separately-filed return when they receive your amendment. How do amend my MFS returns to MFJ?

I did the amendment, now it shows a refund .it is larger than the credit we were trying to get
what about the 2nd persons original return?

how do we adjust if they received a refund ?

Do you have an Intuit account?
