Should have filed taxes married/joint. Already efiled married/separate.

My spouse efiled our US federal and state tax returns as married/separate. I haven't filed mine yet. We did some re-calculations and realized we'd get a bigger refund filing married/joint. How do we get the IRS to delete/reject the already efiled return or amend things so we can file the married/joint one correctly?

See if your state has a similar superseding return procedure. They will have an amended return option, but may restrict changes to filing status.
Joint is almost always beneficial over separate, for the vast majority of couples.
