How fast can I get money back on injured spouse form 8379 if I e-file

[jujubean_27]

What's the number to call? I filed mine February 6th and just want to know the process

[jujubean_27]

@hhh5115 so how long total did you wait?

[nfehr]

for my 2013 taxes I waited 22 weeks (irs missed the injured spouse form and had to reprocess) and made 30 phone calls to the irs... my 2014 were 18 weeks because they were behind... hopefully this year it goes a bit quicker...

Last year I filed with H&R block (and the injured spouse form) and I got my refund in 2 weeks.  This year I did it with Turbo Tax, it's been 4 week and the IRS is still processing my refund.  I guess I was lucky last year.

I filed the injured spouse this year with my tax return, it was accepted on January 23rd and I have a refund date of March 16th,  exactly 8 weeks...I'll confirm once I get the funds

[jujubean_27]

I filed mine February 6th and still have no date or my refund.

I received a letter from IRS that they reviewed information I provided and determined no action is necessary on my account. Does that mean I’m not going to get my injured spouse relief?

@vanny0914 - you are tagging onto a 4 year old question.  Only the IRS can answer your question - call them.

No I sent it in the Day I found out my wife owed $. I filed the day I got w-2.

What do you mean? Are you saying that box 1 has two dollar amounts, and box 3 has two distribution codes? If so, I assume that box 3 has a '1' and a '2'? Is there an amount in box 2?

Your HSA custodian may have combined two 1099-SAs into one: one being for a regular distribution (code '1') and the other being for earnings on a previously withdrawn HSA excess contribution (code '2').

If there is an amount in box 2, put it on the 1099-SA that has the distribution code of '2'.

But this is only a guess. I urge you to contact your HSA custodian and ask them why they sent you such an irregular 1099-SA.

You cannot now do a 2017 return using TT online. You must purchase and download the 2017 desktop software, and file by mail.

Why does it take so long?   Because injured spouse must be hand processed and anything hand processed in the IRS takes time - a lot of time.   Just the other day the IRS commissioner said that due to budget cuts 60% of all phone calls to the IRS either are never answered or hung up on and tax payers can expect long processing times due to lack of personal, so the 8-12 wee time last year might be much longer this year.

(Last year amended returns took about 12 weeks, this year the IRS says 16 weeks or longer).
