Okay I hope this sheds some light on the injured spouse stimulus payment. I just talked to someone at the IRS and they informed me that my entire stimulus went to back child support from my spouse arrears. They don’t have a procedure for this type of situation and do agree that this is not my debt nor is it any of the other injured spouses in the world! They are submitting a review to have this procedure submitted because this type of situation is new and obviously they didn’t think about all the different types of situations. I spent 2 hours on the phone with this guy and I have to say he was doing everything he could to get this resolved because it is not fair especially during this crisis. He told me they are getting new procedures daily but don’t have one on how they are going to address this particular situation that’s happening to a lot of people. He told me to call back in a week and check in to see if there are new procedures regarding this. They know this is a problem and didn’t think about how it would affect some of us. So they have to fix it especially since most of us file every year with this form. He did say that the injured spouse form is only for tax refunds but they never told anyone what to do because everything shut down so this is not our fault because we didn’t know. So to everyone going through this, hang in there and be patient cuz they are working on this situation. Hope this helps! Stay healthy and bless y’all!
