Form 8379

[uwright]

I called the IRS to follow up on my refund status and I was told that they did not receive Form 8379 with my tax return. What can I do?

Form 8379 is for an Injured Spouse Allocation - https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-8379

Complete, print, sign, date and mail the form to the IRS.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for a Form 8379 - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/accessing/help/how-do-i-file-form-8379-injured-spouse-allocation/0...

Why wasn't form 8379 included when I filed this year as it did last year?

The Form 8379 has to be completed by you for each tax year, it is not automatic.
