Yes it still can come from your refund if you file a joint return.  If he has been incarcerated for at least the last six months of 2019 you could file as Head of Household instead of joint.  

Am I Head of Household?

If you qualify as Head of Household, when you enter your filing status (single or married filing separately) into Personal Info, and then enter your qualifying dependent, TurboTax will offer HOH as your filing status.
