My husband and I filed our taxes together this year because we could file the injured spouse form together….does that only apply to federal and not state? GA has offset
GA offset our refund for an outstanding child support amount; but how were they able to do that when we filed injured spouse form??! Does it not apply to state and only federal?

Yes, this is a federal specific form. You can check with your state to see if they do follow the federal process to release a refund to the injured spouse.
Per Georgia (GA) Injured Spouse Relief: Georgia law does not contain a provision for injured spouse relief. If you were granted injured spouse relief by the IRS, please contact the department at 877-423-6711 for assistance.
