Form 8379 Injured Spouse Allocation

 Form 8379 is used when overpayment is applied to past-due financial obligations rather than refunded to the taxpayer on a MFJ.

 

Form 8379

You may be an injured spouse if you file a joint tax return and all or part of your portion of the overpayment was, or is expected to be, applied (offset) to your spouse's legally enforceable past-due federal tax, state income tax, state unemployment compensation debts, child or spousal support, or a federal nontax debt, such as a student loan.Article body following style guideline?
