You can file the Injured Spouse, Form 8379 by itself, so you do not need to Amend your return.

 

To be eligible to file for Injured Spouse relief, you must meet the following three conditions:

  1. You filed a joint return.
  2. You are not legally obligated to pay the past-due debt of your spouse.
  3. You had earned income, made tax payments, or claimed refundable credits on your joint return.
