Hello!
My wife and I got married February 2019. We filed taxes last year before we got married as single.
This year we have the option to file jointly married.
My wife accidentally filed as single, obtained her return.
Later we sent an amendment to change her filing to jointly with me.
We filed the amendment.
I have NOT filed anything else for my person.
I AM included in the amended return we sent.
I checked the status of the amendment online and it is still under review.
It was received and it says it takes up to 16 weeks to process.
My question:
Do I have to file as single in the meantime?
Do I just wait for the amendment to be processed?
Do I file as married jointly and include my spouse?
Am I breaking the law by not filing and waiting for the amendment?
Thank you!
