In modern American canasta a meld of 180 is needed to meld. You can meld with enough points but have only one card left to discard. The card is a wild card. Is this acceptable?

You must have at least 2 Canastas in order to go out, so if you do not have that then you cannot meld all but 1 card since you have to discard a card to end your turn.
You can go out if you can satisfy both of the following conditions:
- your team has completed two canastas, and
- you are able to meld all but one of your cards and discard your last card.
If you do not satisfy the conditions for going out, you are not allowed to leave yourself without any cards at the end of your turn: you must play in such a way as to keep at least one card after discarding.
