I live in Minnesota. I filed a 8379 - Innocent Spouse Form with the state in order to get back my part of the taxes withheld for my husband's owed support. I got back some from State. Do I need to file with Federal too?

Yes and it is the INJURED spouse form 8379 not the INNOCENT spouse form ... they are very different.
Yes, I meant injured spouse. Thanks for the clarification. The County worker didn't know the answer to this.
Form 8379 lets you (the "injured spouse") get back your portion of a refund from a jointly-filed tax return if it's seized or offset to pay your spouse's debt. If you did not file it WITH the tax return it can be mailed separately.
You must file jointly to use this form. Filing an 8379 will delay your federal refund by up to 14 weeks.
