I filed our taxes on Friday and just realized that I filed form 8379 injured spouse allocation, and I did not mean to. While doing taxes I clicked on this to see what it was, and saw that it did not apply to us, so I clicked off and finished my return. Somehow this form accidentally got submitted with my tax return.
Neither my husband nor I have any past due or back payments due for anything. This form does not apply to us in any way.
Should I file an amended return, or wait and see if the IRS contacts us about it? I am (like everyone else I know) extremely concerned about getting our refund back ASAP. My business is non-existent thanks to the corona virus and desperately need that $ as soon as possible! I''m worried that this will cause an unnecessary delay.
