How do I include form 8379 with my return?

Here's how to prepare an injured spouse form (Form 8379) in TurboTax.

  • Click the Federal Taxes tab.
  • Click Other Tax Situations.
  • Scroll down to the "Other Tax Forms" section near the bottom of the page, and click the Start, Update, or Revisit button for "Miscellaneous tax forms."
  • On the next screen, click the Start, Update, or Revisit button for "Report an injured or innocent spouse claim."

Read the screens carefully. You want injured spouse relief, not innocent spouse relief. You will first get two screens for innocent spouse relief. Just click Continue without entering anything. Then you will get a series of screens for injured spouse relief.

If  you have not yet filed your tax return, one of the screens will ask you whether you want to file the injured spouse claim with your tax return. If you select Yes on that screen, the Form 8379 will be included in your return.
