When you file as Married Filing Joint they can take your full refund for past debts. You can still file as Joint & include the Injured Spouse Form (8379).
Form 8379 lets you (the "injured spouse") get back your portion of a jointly-filed refund if it's seized or offset to pay your spouse's debt. You must file jointly to use this form. Filing an 8379 will delay your federal refund by up to 14 weeks.
