If you are filing a joint return and have filed jointly in past years, you should not change the order of the names on the tax return. That will just confuse the IRS, and it accomplishes nothing. Your tax refund or tax due will not change if you change the order of the names on the form. It will be the same no matter whose name is listed first.
