The program fills in the form for you ...
Form 8379, Injured Spouse
AllocationUse Form 8379 when the overpayment on
your jointly filed tax return was, or is expected to be, applied (offset) to a
past-due obligation of your spouse.
By filing Form 8379, you (the injured spouse) may be able to get back your
share of the joint refund.
The IRS advises that you should allow
an additional eleven weeks to process your return, leading to similar delays in
any refund you are due.
If you are claiming innocent spouse relief, do not use Form 8379.
For more information, see Innocent
Spouse Relief.
