Question

IRS Form 8379

I'm filling out form 8379 for injured spouse allocation. I worked and ran my small business all last year and my husband didn't have income but his past due support is going to be taken from both state and federal refunds. I am not sure if there is a way to get our State to give me my return back. I'm not sure what exactly line 6 means. I paid taxes from my full-time job, so does that mean I would select "yes" or does this mean I sent individual payments outside of my weekly paycheck percentage?

Not A Product Question

Yes, you would select yes, if all the payments (withholding or estimated tax payments) paid and sent to the IRS belong to you.

It's uncertain about the rules for your state but you can use the link below to see the rules for your state Department of Revenue.

How do I contact my state Department of Revenue?

If you are filing jointly you should continue to file this Form 8379 each year so that your portion of any refund is release.

Thank you, Diane! Also, does this mean I can skip the questions after this one even if I answer yes to them?

Level 14

Yes, question 6 states that if you answered "yes" you can skip lines 7-9 and go to Part II and finish the form.
