Injured Spouse form electronic

Does anyone know if I can file the 8379 Injured spouse form electronically after I have filed  2020 Taxes through turbo tax? I waited till today when IRS efile fillable forms opened up, but it wants me to file the 1040 with it, wont let me just file the 8379. I hate to mail it in because of all the warnings on the IRS website about substantial delays..... Also, the address to mail it in is confusing... it doesnt list where specifically for 8379, I live in FL. Anyone? And Thanks!

Injured Spouse form electronic

Since you have already submitted your 2020 tax return electronically, you will should to wait until your tax return was either accepted or rejected.

  • If your e-filed return is still pending. Wait until the return is accepted before preparing Form 8379.
  • If your return has already been accepted, you can complete Form 8379 and mail it to the IRS.
  • If rejected, just make your changes and then resubmit or mail your return.

 

To prepare Form 8379:

  1. Open your return.
  2. In the Search box, type injured spouse and then click the "Jump to" link in the search results.
  3. Answer YES to "Do you want to claim innocent or injured spouse relief?" 
  4. Follow the onscreen instructions for Injured Spouse

 

IRS Form 8379 allows the injured spouse to receive a refund on their portion of a jointly-filed refund, if it's seized or offset to pay the spouse's debt.

 

Florida residents would mail form 8379 to:

 

Department of the Treasury
Internal Revenue Service
Austin, TX 73301-0002
