Form 8379
where and How do you efile an injured spouse form?
The injured spouse may or may not get back the entire tax refund. They will have to file an injured spouse tax form (Form Number 8379). The IRS will figure the amount of the tax refund which would be allocated to each spouse and that percentage will be refunded to the injured spouse. If the spouse with the debt was the only one working, the injured spouse will get little or none of the refund back. It all depends on the return and their situation.
You should fill out the "Contact" step of the 5 C's when submitting a 9-line EH spot report. This step includes providing information on the individual or unit that is injured or sick.
