Since we can't review your tax return in this forum, we are unable to determine why you didn't meet the qualifications for the injured spouse relief. You can review your Form 8379 box 4, to make sure that you indicated that you are not legally obligated to pay this past due amount. If you didn’t check NO, then you would not have met all of the qualifications.

If you are unsure if you answered the questions correctly, you can file a new Form 8379 and mail it to the IRS.

Refer to Form 8379-Injured Spouse and Form 8379 Instructions.

For additional information, refer to the TurboTax article What is IRS Form 8379: Injured Spouse Allocation?
