Form 8379, Injured Spouse Allocation

Form 8379 is filed by one spouse (the injured spouse) on a jointly filed tax return when the joint overpayment was (or is expected to be) applied (offset) to a past-due obligation of the other spouse. By filing Form 8379, the injured spouse may be able to get back his or her share of the joint refund. Do not use this form to request innocent spouse relief. Instead use Form 8857.
