You can file Form 8379, Injured Spouse Allocation after you
filed!
You will need to mail it to the IRS but you can still use
Turbo Tax to prepare the form.
If you are using Turbo Tax Online, sign back into Turbo
Tax. This will take you to the “Welcome
Home” screen.
- Click the Taxes tab in the
upper left part of your Turbo Tax screen.
- On the Tax Timeline, under 2016 look for Amend (change) return and click
on it. You are not actually going to
amend your return.
-
- You should be able to click on Federal Taxes
- Click on Other Tax
Situations
- under Other Tax Forms, click on the button beside Miscellaneous
Tax Forms.
- Click the button beside
“Report an injured or innocent spouse claim”.
Work through the screens carefully.
You need to answer the injured spouse questions – not innocent spouse.
When you have completed the form, you will need to print the
form and mail it to the IRS. Please go
to the link below and look at “Where to File”.
It would be a good idea to read the whole link as it has great
information.
