Update: I spoke to the child support office in our state and they told me that they were told we do not need to file two injured spouse forms. Although they also recommended I do so to be "safe rather than sorry", I am not going to file another one because anyone here who has filed form 8379 before knows it takes 11-14 weeks to process each time and that will only prolong or possibly restart the process. The IRS website itself says not to file a second injured spouse form if you already did with your taxes. They told me also that just like tax refunds, the money goes into a hold for six months and so we should have time to fix it.
I then spoke to the U.S Department of Treasury as that is whom the letters are from and they informed me that they have no control over it and that it is the IRS we need to speak with directly to correct this issue. They hinted at the possibility of the IRS call center opening up back week but could not promise me they actually would.
That's all I've got for now! Will let you know if I find out more.
