Get your taxes done using TurboTax

As far as tax filings your daughter could file an Injured Spouse Form 8379.  Sign back in to TurboTax and click "Add a State" to allow you back in to the return.  Go to the "Other Tax Situations" tab at the top of the page.  Scroll down to "Other Tax forms" and "Show More".  You should find the Injured Spouse interview in there.  Complete that interview and then print it and mail it in. 

 

Once the offset has happened it is very difficult but not impossible to get it back.  Here is an article, and you can search for more in the same vein, that gives helpful steps to requesting a reversal of the offset. In this article you will find phone numbers to, first, find out where the offset went and then phone numbers for resolution specialists in the Government Agency (Dept of Education for example). 

 

Additionally, there are firms and legal agencies that deal with this situation regularly.
