Homework Answers
FORM 8379 "
Injured Spouse Allocation"
The "injured" spouse on a jointly-filed tax return can file Form
8379 to regain their share of a joint refund that was seized to pay
a past-due obligation of the other spouse. These obligations might
include past-due federal tax, state tax, child support, or federal
non-tax debt (such as a student loan). The term "injured" refers to
the negatively impacted spouse, who does not owe the debt.
If spouses file a joint tax return and a refund is applied to one
spouse's past-due debts, the “injured” spouse can file Form 8379 to
get their share of the refund.
Typically, spouses are jointly responsible for a tax obligation so
an injured spouse should file Form 8379 when they become aware that
all or part of a share of a refund was, or is expected to be,
applied against their spouse's legally enforceable past-due
obligations.
If a spouse has fallen behind on child support payments, alimony,
federal or state taxes, federal non-tax debt such as student loans,
or certain unemployment compensation debt, then the Department of
Treasury is authorized to take a taxpayer's refund and apply it
toward the past-due debt. By filling out Form 8379, the injured
spouse is requesting that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
release their share of a joint tax refund.
HENCE, OPTION B AND C CAN TAKE THE BENEFITS OF FORM
8379.
