According to the IRS:
"You are changing from separate to a joint return. If you and your spouse are changing from separate returns to a joint return, follow these steps.
Enter in column A the amounts from your return as originally filed or as previously adjusted (either by you or the IRS).
To determine the amounts to enter in column B , combine the amounts from your spouse’s return as originally filed (or as previously adjusted) with any other changes you or your spouse are making . If your spouse didn’t file an original return, include your spouse’s income, deductions, credits, other taxes, etc., in the amounts you enter in column B.
Read the instructions for column C to figure the amounts to enter in that column.
Both of you must sign and date Form 1040X."
