If you filed a tax return with the wrong filing status then you can amend it after it has been fully processed by the IRS. Do not try to amend it while it is still being processed.

A 1040X cannot be e-filed. It must be printed and mailed. It will take about 4 months for the IRS to process an amended return. It is a good idea to use a mailing service that will track it, like UPS or certified mail, so you will know it was received.

Wait about 3 weeks from mailing and you can check the status of your amended return:
