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

[annablack0616]

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.

• How do I contact the State Department of Revenue? 

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.
