I live in a Community Property State. My wife owes on student loans and doesn't work. All of my refund was seized to pay her loan. Can I get it all back?

Her student loans are from before we were even together.

Yes, you need to file the injured spouse form.  Its purpose is to allow you to preserve your Federal tax refund so that it is not seized to pay a spouse's debt.

Here is some information to help you file the injured spouse form using TurboTax.
