Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you filed your taxes with injured spouse, and you have not received your refund, go to https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

This enables you to get your transcript online from the IRS. If you cannot access the transcript online, call ‭‭1 (800) 304-3107. This will let you know if there has been an offset in yours or your spouses refund. If the Tax Offset Department States there is an offset, and it is your tax refund that has been incorrectly offset, contact your tax advocate. This is happening everywhere. My tax advocate stated that it was a computer error, and it cannot be fixed until the IRS returns to the office. However, the Tax Advocacy can open a case on your behalf and have the forms in place for when the IRS reopens to get your funds back. Let us pray the IRS opens soon. This is the tax advocacy website: https://www.irs.gov/taxpayer-advocate

 

As for the stimulus, until the IRS opens back up, that money is just in limbo waiting. Contact the number listed by the Tax Offset and speak with someone at the Child Support Department about the stimulus so they can flag the account. They were told to tell people to file a second injured spouse. This is the wrong information-do not do anything. When you speak to the tax advocate, you can let them know the stimulus was taken too, but other than that, we do not know when they will get that fixed. 

 

I hope this helps. I had a meltdown when this all happened, but this is what I have found thus far.
