You qualify as a nonobligated spouse if:
(1) you have income (such as wages or interest) and prepaid taxes (such as withholding or estimated tax payments) to report on a joint return, or
(2) you are going to file a joint return for any refundable credit(s) and you want to disclaim your spouse’s defaulted governmental education, state university, or city university loan, past-due support liability, or past-due legally enforceable debt to a New York State agency, or New York City tax warrant judgment debt because you do not want to apply your part of the joint refund or refundable credit to a debt owed solely by your spouse.
