If you already submitted your return, then you will have to wait until your return has been accepted by the IRS and the amended forms are available then you can Amend Your Return .  You cannot simply submit another tax return, as the IRS will reject it for duplicate use of a social security number. 

If your return is rejected, then you can just make the corrections and fix the problem. 

The 1040X forms are expected to be available on February 23rd.

Why do you want or need to file Married Filing Separate?  Did you file a Joint return or Single?  Joint is usually the best way to file.

well i tried to see howmuch id get back if i did married filing seperate for my portion but my spouses came out to be a tax due . compared to my return so it wouldve been the same but now im kind of in another dilemma. i changed the things to filing married seperate but if i were to change it back would even the slightest difference mess me up again?
