I refiled changing only married filing jointly from married filing separately. IRS process the return, but is not indicating a refund. Do I have to pay back that year's refund first or will the IRS deduct that years refund from the refund due me?

Did the IRS adjust your return and mail you a notice?  If so, you will need to contact them directly for further guidance.  Typically, if the IRS makes the adjustment and sends you the notice, they take into account the amounts as reported on your tax return as filed.  The following links have further guidance to assist.

How do I respond to an IRS notice (and what if they want to audit me)?
