When can I file my return if spouse's return was married filing jointly & included my SSN, but he amended return to married filing separate? Mine was rejected due to SSN.

My return was rejected because my SSN was already entered on the first return my husband filed. The amended return hasn't been accepted yet. Do I have to wait to file until my husband's amended return is accepted?

You can file at any time; however, you will have to print and mail your return unless you wait for the IRS to process your husband's amended return.  Amended returns usually take six to eight weeks to be processed.  If you do not mail your return, and you aren't able to e-file  before April 15, be sure to file an extension on or before April 15.

Will I still get the refund I am owed or will I have to wait for my husband's amended return to be accepted?
