You can file an Injured Spouse form.
When filing jointly, the Injured Spouse Allocation (Form 8379) lets you recover your portion of your refund that was kept by the IRS to pay your spouse's debt (back taxes, back child support, etc.). Form 8379 can be filed right with your taxes. No special signature is needed.
You must file jointly to use this form. Also, filing an 8379 will delay your federal refund by up to 14 weeks. You can dowload it from the IRS and send it by mail since you have already filed.
