How do I edit the name on a tax return, it needs to be refiled with the other spouse listed first

VickieatRBS

The IRS incorrectly shows the spouse listed first as single with zero income and an overpayment in tax on a 1040 filed jointly. To correct, I need to reverse the listing of the two spouses on their 2019 tax return., Is there a way to do this without redoing the tax return?

Why?  If it is a joint return all of the income gets thrown into one big pot anyway.

"...Is there a way to do this without redoing the tax return?"

No, there isn't a way.

And attempting to do so would likely create a mess.

The IRS doesn't care who's name is listed first; why do *you* think it is an issue?
