This isn't a glitch.  You are not required to make a payment now...but you will be required to pay your balance due.  Your wife will get her full refund...CRA will not keep her refund to offset your balance due. 

As to the software asking for how you will pay...just select a method.  You are not going to be held to whatever choice you make.
