Prior tax debt from 2019 and 2021 when married, were on a payment plan with IRS 500$ a month, lived separately all of 2024, divorced December 2024. Out divorce agreement included us filing single for 2024. He made much more than me last year as I was out of work for 6 months. My tax refund was a little over 8k unsure of his tax refund. If we divided the remainder of our tax debt I would owe a little over 6k however the IRS took my whole return. I should have close to 2k returned as overpayment. In speaking to a representative at the IRS I was told I could file a 8379 and maybe also 8359. However it says if you did not file jointly you cannot complete this form. Now of course we filed jointly for prior years however this past year that is in question was single. What should I do to ensure my portion of my taxes are considered paid off and get the remainder I’m due? Thanks!!
