Injured spouse form tax transcript so many codes

[Tkdbabe565]

I filed our taxes back in January they were taken due to an offset from my husbands school loans so I filed an injured spouse form. Can someone help explain these codes. 150 return filed with date of 3/9

806 w2 date of 4/15

766 credit account date of 4/15

846 issued refund date of 2/26

898 refund applied to non irs debit  3/9

971 injured spouse claim recieved 3/2

I since have called and they said it was assigned to someone on the 3rd but then called again with another question and a different woman told me the computer's do it. 

Please help

Does it always take the full 8weeks 

(My refund was already processed before I filed)

Don’t get bogged down with the codes. The text clearly explains the steps in how your return has been processed ending with the receipt of your injured spouse form on 3/2. 

According to the IRS instructions for Form 8379 - Injured Spouse Allocation: Generally, if you file Form 8379 with a joint return on paper, the time needed to process it is about 14 weeks (11 weeks if filed electronically).

Yes but its 8 weeks if you filed after your return is processed.

Hello have you heard anything about your taxes? Mine says injured spouse received 3/2 and then it says $0 next to it so I’m a little worried.

Typically, the injured spouse form can take up to 14 weeks to process. 

However, due to the social distancing that went into effect this year and the limited operations of the IRS, they have been behind in processing most items.  This may be part of the reason there has been a delay for your return.

Did you ever get your refund? I'm in the same boat and my injured spouse claim was received 3-3-2022. I've already got the 766 code that says removed refund applied to non IRS debt -1,400. I'm just wondering how long until I should receive my refund? Thanks in advance!!

[Ahriel]

I finally got my refund I think it was 2 months later. I am hoping this year will be sooner since I filed with my taxes this time. We shall see. But yes I finally did get my entire refund.

Thanks so much! Wishing you all the luck when you file this year!! 😊

Me and my husband filed a joint return for the first time this year and they took the entire refund and sent it off for his past due child support. I sent in an injured spouse form for myself in the mail a couple weeks ago once I realized this and I’m hoping to get some of my portion back.
So even though they took your entire refund and applied it to the debt, they still sent you your portion for injured spouse?

I’ve been wondering how that works and how they’re gonna send me money or refund a part of the tax return when they sent the entire thing to his ex wife already. It seems to me like they would just be giving away money at that point lol

I thought there was a waiting period to file for Inj Sp. before the debt was sent to whoever it was owed to.

The IRS will determine whether you qualify for injured spouse relief based on your application Form 8379 independently of the processing of the seized refund, which is handled by the Department of Treasury's Bureau of the Fiscal Service (BFS). See IRS Tax Topic 203 for more information.

The injured spouse on a jointly filed tax return files Form 8379 to get back their share of the joint refund when the joint overpayment is applied to a past-due obligation of the other spouse.

Generally:

• If you file Form 8379 with a joint return electronically, the time needed to process it is about 11 weeks.
• If you file Form 8379 with a joint return on paper, the time needed is about 14 weeks.
• If you file Form 8379 by itself after a joint return has already been processed, the time needed is about 8 weeks.

The IRS will calculate the amount of refund you can claim. If you live in a community property state, they divide the refund based on state community property law. See this IRS webpage and this TurboTax tips article for more information.
