I submitted form 8379 with our joint return the year my husband passed. It appears the IRS took my portion of the allocated refund to pay the tax debt he had before we married. I thought the 8379 would protect my refund but it doesnt appear so. Do the rules change if the spouse is deceased ?
I know they will still go after his estate, but can they also take the injured spouse first? I thought the 8379 protected me.
