You are filing a joint return. You cannot also list her as a dependent. It cannot be both. You never list a spouse under "dependents." You just file a joint return. You are confusing the fact that you support her with what you actually put on a tax return. Do not enter your spouse's name under dependent on a tax return. You enter her information once---as a spouse.
