After you file

According to the IRS:

 

Generally, if you file Form 8379 (Injured Spouse) with a joint return on paper, the time needed to process it is about 14 weeks (11 weeks if filed electronically). If you file Form 8379 by itself after a joint return has been processed, the time needed is about 8 weeks (after the tax return has been processed).
