How do we know if our return is going to be accepted?? Her federal was already accepted but when she did the amendment process it brought our return down to zero

"Her" federal  "our" return.

Did she file Married Separately, and then amended to Married Joint?   When doing a 1040X amended return, the refund meter resets to zero.  Then only any changes are shown.  Amended returns must be filed by mail. After 3-4 weeks, you can start checking here:

Please explain exactly what she/you did.
