Injured spouse relief allows a taxpayer to request their share of a joint tax refund when their spouse's debts—such as unpaid taxes, child support, or student loans—offset the refund. This relief is applicable when the injured spouse's income and tax contributions are not related to the debt. To qualify, the injured spouse must file Form 8379 with their tax return, demonstrating their eligibility. This provision ensures that the innocent spouse can claim their rightful portion of the refund without being penalized for their partner's financial issues.
