You shouldn't have to pay for an amendment.
If you are just filing the Injured Spouse form, you don't need to amend, you just need to file the form 8379.
Form 8379 lets you (the "injured spouse") get back your portion of a jointly-filed refund if it's seized or offset to pay your spouse's debt.
You must file jointly to use this form. Filing an 8379 will delay your federal refund by up to 14 weeks.
To file this form in TurboTax:
Note: Pay close attention to the screens, as some of them apply to innocent spouse relief, which is different. Leave those questions blank if you only want to claim injured spouse relief.
This article will guide you through the process.
If you already filed a completed 2023 return and it was processed, you don't amend for this situation. Just download form 8379, print it, fill out your details, and mail it to the IRS.
