Per Publication 501:
Joint Return After Separate Returns
You can change your filing status from a separate return to a joint return by filing an amended return using Form 1040X.
You generally can change to a joint return any time within 3 years from the due date of the separate return or returns. This does not include any extensions. A separate return includes a return filed by you or your spouse claiming married filing separately, single, or head of household filing status.
Separate Returns After Joint Returns
Once you file a joint return, you cannot choose to file separate returns for that year after the due date of the return.
