To enter information for the Injured Spouse Allocation in TurboTax:

  • Open (continue) your return in TurboTax Online. (If your return isn't open, you'll need to sign in and click Take me to my return.)
  • Click the drop-down arrow next to Tax Tools (lower left of your screen).
  • Select Tools.
  • In the pop-up window, select Topic Search.
  • In the I'm looking for: box, type 8379.
  • In the results box, highlight 8379, injured spouse claim and allocation, then click GO.
  • You'll land on the Innocent or Injured Spouse Relief page. Click Yes.
  • Follow the onscreen instructions to complete this section. 

Note: If using the TurboTax CD/Download software, you'll use the Find function (instead of "My Account") to search for the topic.

You can’t prepare the Form 8379 directly in TurboTax Online, but responding to the injured spouse relief questions during the tax interview will generate the form. If you click above on “See entire answer” it explains that you need to skip the questions about innocent spouse relief if you want to file as an injured spouse (Form 8379). Above you’ll also find instructions for preparing Form 8379 to mail to the IRS if you’ve already filed your federal tax return.

Yes, if you e-file your return, Form 8379 will be transmitted along with it.
