According to the IRS Economic Impacts FAQ, you do not need to file another injured spouse form if you sent one with your 2019 tax return (or 2018 if you haven't filed yet). However today I received two letters, one with my name and his and the other just his saying both payments had been sent to pay back child support. I am really angry and frustrated because I listened to the website and didn't send another injured spouse form but they sent the money on anyway! So what happens, they will then get it back from the agency? Who knows how long that will take. I really wish there were a way to speak to a live person. I'm wondering if I should file an amended 2019 return where I file separately and then request my money back. I knew my husband's stimulus money would go to the debt but I was under the impression I did everything right to keep mine. Apparently things can work differently in a community property state which we are newly in but the debt was not my legal responsibility and what I am reading suggests the injured spouse form still applies. Anyone have any advice?
