I would start all over, prepare a joint 1040, mark it "SUPERSEDING RETURN" and paper file before July 15. 99% of the time, Form 1040-X is the best choice, but not this time. If you use a 1040-X, I think you have to attach a 1040 anyway to show how you came up with the numbers. Has a refund been paid already on the original, incorrect return? The superseding return may show a refund in a smaller amount, but IRS will adjust the account and send a bill for the difference. Or if the refund is higher, they will pay only the difference (with interest).
