Mr. Kantrowitz,

Would I need to amend my taxes for this year or just file my taxes next year as "married filing separate"?

Thanks for you help.

The first year there would likely be an "Alternative Documentation of Income" form (which is not yet available). It is still possible that you would have to file an amended return, but I'd suggest first asking the lender what you should do.
