Amending tax returns to married filing jointly help

Hello,

I have a very confusing problem. I am married and was under the impression that I could file head of household with our son and my wife could file single. My wife does not work. It turns out that we were supposed to file separate or jointly as married. Anyway, our tax refunds would have been much bigger had we filed married jointly.

I need to amend my last three years but since my wife has already filed single for those years, how do the amendments work? Does the IRS automatically throw out her returns when I file my amendments? Because when I amend my returns, isn't the IRS going to reject my return because she already claimed herself?

Please help!

John
