If either of you files an amended or corrected tax return, the other person must also provide their share of the information required on that return.

The consequences of filing a married tax return can depend on many factors, including whether one spouse has custody of children or grandchildren, whether there is another financial dependent accompanying the couple at home, or whether both parties are working full-time but splitting benefits equally.
