Once the IRS has processed your original Form 8379, you’ll receive a notice from them. Here are the standard timeframes:
- When you file Form 8379 with a joint return electronically, the time needed to process it is about 11 weeks.
- When you file Form 8379 with a joint return on paper, the time needed is about 14 weeks.
- When you file Form 8379 by itself after a joint return has already been processed, the time needed is about 8 weeks.
Please see Injured Spouse FAQs for more information.
With the Coronavirus outbreak, of course, the standard timeframes may not apply.
