Question

My return was accepted 2/9/26. I filed an injured spouse exception. Filed electronically. No refund or any approval yet. Should I expect it to be this late?

The IRS says,

"It can take us up to 8 weeks to process Form 8379 by itself and longer if you file it with your tax return. We calculate the amount of refund you can claim. If you lived in a community property state, we divide the refund based on state community property law."
