Here is the guidance given by the IRS with regard to the processing time for Form 8379 Injured Spouse:
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). If you file Form 8379 by itself after a joint return has been processed, the time needed is about 8 weeks.
This statement suggests that the faster processing time is when the Form 8379 is filed on its own after the joint return has been processed.
