After you file

It would be better to enter the tax due from your wife's return on line 16 of form 1040-X (line 64 of Form NJ 1040-X) , which is for the payment due on her return.  You would then enter your refund from the original return on line 18 of form 1040-X. Your refund from the amended return would show on line 22 of form 1040-X. If you don't see an amount there, then you need to examine each line entry on form 1040-X to make sure everything is entered correctly. It is possible that your tax is the same after the amendment and that may explain why you don't have a refund from the amended return.
