Form 8379: How to File an Injured Spouse Allocation

Summary

Nutrition label

80% Informative

When a married couple files a joint tax return, both spouses typically share responsibility for any tax liabilities.

If one spouse has past-due debts, the IRS may seize the entire tax refund.

Form 8379 allows an injured spouse to reclaim their portion of a tax refund that was offset due to the other spouse’s outstanding debts.

This form is meant to protect a spouse not legally tied to the debt.
