How can I get help with filing out the 8379 form?

Form 8379 is Injured Spouse Allocation and it can be included in your TurboTax return.

You will file Form 8379 to get back your share of a joint refund.

This will occur when the joint refund is applied to a past-due obligation of the other spouse.

 

To prepare the form:

 Select Tax Tools

  • This is on the left sidebar
  • You may have to minimize the Federal and State options
  • You also may have to scroll down on that menu
  1. Once you can work on Tax Tools
  2. On the drop-down select Tools
  3. There will be 3 or 4 green boxes
  4. Select Topics Search
  5. Type the form number or a topic.
  6. 8379
  7. Continue through the questions.
  8. Follow the interview.
