The IRS will determine how much you will receive.
Generally speaking, the amount of your refund will be proportional to your income compared to the total income on the return. If you brought in 40% of the total income, you'll get 40% of the refund.
However, if you live in a communitiy property state, you'll normally get 50% of the refund regardless of what your proportionate share is.

If you filed a joint return and you're not responsible for the debt, but you are entitled to a portion of the refund because you reported income, payments, or credits on the return, you may request your portion of the refund by filing Form 8379 (PDF), Injured Spouse Allocation. Attach Form 8379 to your original Form 1040 (PDF), Form 1040A (PDF), or Form 1040EZ (PDF) or file it by itself after you are notified of an offset. If you file a Form 8379 with your return, write "INJURED SPOUSE" at the top left corner of the Form 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ. Because the IRS will process your allocation request before an offset occurs, filing Form 8379 with your original return may take 11 to 14 weeks from the date of filing to process your return.

Depends on what percent of the total return is due to your income and withholding, and what percent is due to your spouse's income and withholding.
