I filed my taxes on TurboTax and I have to also file a injured spouse claim and I'm trying to get help from TurboTax to fill it out and cannot seem to find any way to do

I'm just trying to find help feeling that out I'm not a tax person would be willing to pay him to do it but I can't get a hold of them already paid for the Plus membership

If you've already filed and your return has been accepted, you'll have to mail the form to the IRS using TurboTax to create the form.

If you’re using TurboTax Online, do the following to get back into your return and generate Form 8379:

  1. Sign in and scroll down.
  2. Select Add a State (you won’t actually be adding a state).
  3. In the search box, enter injured spouse and then select the link or button in the search results.
  4. Please be aware that when you get to the Tell Us More About Your Situation screen, in order to meet all qualifications to file the form, the box I am not required to pay the past due amount must apply to you. If so, check the box.

If you’re using TurboTax CD/Download:

  1. Open your return.
  2. Search for injured spouse and select the Jump to link in the search results.
  3. Answer Yes to Do you want to claim innocent or injured spouse relief? and carefully follow the instructions for Injured Spouse.
  4. Please be aware that when you get to the Tell Us More About Your Situation screen, in order to meet all qualifications to file the form, the box I am not required to pay the past due amount must apply to you. If so, check the box.
