Answer #1

Injured spouse relief is a relief which is a form of refund of taxes paid while filing a joint tax return. It comes into the place when IRS has determined to offset the tax refunds by applying it to debts owed to them. However these debts are solely owed by the spouse of the tax payer and not the tax payer. Thus by filing a Injured Spouse relief claim using Form 8379, the spouse can get relief from the debt so owed by their spouse and hence are eligible to  obtain the share of joint refund. The debts here may be in one or more ways of the following:

  1. Debts in form of taxes solely owed by the spouse (individually)
  2. Child support owed to the state by the spouse.
  3. Federal student loans owed by the spouse.
