My return was already filed and accepted, I need to file something to get my refund back that was wrongfully applied to my wife's school loans that I'm not liable for? She had NO income in 2015 I had all of the income.

The Injured Spouse form can be filed separately from your tax return, if you have already filed. They will process it, and issue a refund based on your income items. The Form 8379 will need to be printed and mailed. Be sure to attach a copy of all Forms W-2 and W-2G for both spouses, and any Forms 1099 showing federal income tax withholding. Mail it to the Internal Revenue Service Center for the area where you live. The mailing address can be found here: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.irs.gov/uac/Where-to-File-Addresses-for--Taxpayers-and--Tax-Professionals-Filing-Form-1040">https://www.irs.gov/uac/Where-to-File-Addresses-for--Taxpayers-and--Tax-Professionals-Filing-Form-1040</a>

What if she has no W-2 or W-2G or 1099? She had nothing for any income what so ever only I did.

Ok and will this get me back all or only part of the refund that was to be given from my income?. Because she had no income she doesn't technically have a share since all income was made by me.

So do I have to amend my taxes or just send the form in?

They will allocate it based on all income and tax items. I can't say if you will get it all back, as I don't have access to your information. If she had no income, it's likely you will receive more than just half.

You do not need to amend, just send the form.

You will need to go to a library or other location with a computer and printer. The form can be found here: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.irs.gov/uac/Form-8379,--Injured-Spouse-Allocation">https://www.irs.gov/uac/Form-8379,--Injured-Spouse-Allocation</a>
