    Joint return error

    Filed Single for Man & Woman living together for a while. 2024 Returns. Now they tell me they
    were married in 2024 and want me to amend to joint. Can this be done.

      Ask for a copy of their marriage certificate from the local town clerk as well as copies of prior year tax returns for both spouses. Is it possible if they're not married for one of them to be a HOH for the other?

          You can amend from S to MFJ, if that's the correct filing status on 31 December 2024.

              Uncle Sam, to file HOH you must have a Qualifying child or a Qualifying relative that is related to you. A girlfriend does not qualify nor a spouse
