ok so the 2nd page of the letter from the treasury says for joint tax refund offsets only.
if you filed a joint return and only one spouse is responsible for the debt the spouse who isnt responsible fr the debt may be entitled to his or her share of the joint refund if he or she had income withholdings estimated tax payments or refundable credits if both you and your spouse were offset for separate debts one of you may be entitled to have more of the overpayment applied to his or her refund..
