Form 8379 is Injured Spouse Allocation and it can be included in your TurboTax return.

You will file Form 8379 to get back your share of a joint refund.

This will occur when the joint refund is applied to a past-due obligation of the other spouse.

 

To prepare the form:

 Select Tax Tools

  • This is on the left sidebar
  • You may have to minimize the Federal and State options
  • You also may have to scroll down on that menu
  1. Once you can work on Tax Tools
  2. On the drop-down select Tools
  3. There will be 3 or 4 green boxes
  4. Select Topics Search
  5. Type the form number or a topic.
  6. 8379
  7. Continue through the questions.
  8. Follow the interview.
