What does line 6 on form 8379 mean?

[pagexi2015]

My husband and I filed our taxes as married filing jointly. We received a letter stating that over half of our tax return is being withheld for a past student loan he had long before we were married. I am the only one who brought any income in this year, and am trying to file a 8379 form, but I am confused about line 6. What does line 6 mean?

Tax payments can be made by having federal income tax withheld from wages and/or making quarterly estimated tax payments on your own.  This is what question 6 is asking.

If you had federal income tax withheld from your wages (this would be reported in Box 2 on your Form(s) W-2, you would answer "Yes" on question 6 and skip questions 7, 8, and 9 on the Form 8379 and begin filling out Part II.
