We filed 2 separate returns ( married filing separately) in 2021

i want to amend our taxes to married filing jointly so we can claim Turin expenses for that year and receive the  American opportunity credit  

 What do I filled and what do I submit to show this ?

    The good news is that you only need to amend one of the returns; the IRS will disregard the other separately-filed return when they receive your amendment.   How do amend my MFS returns to MFJ?

    I did the amendment, now it shows a refund .it is larger than the credit we were trying to get  
    what about the 2nd persons original return?

    how do we adjust  if they received a refund ?
