My husband called today and they said since we filed an injured spouse form that they can’t dd our money. So, they’re gonna mail it out on the 27th and we should get it by the 11 of May. What I don’t get is why their website says it can’t be dd into more than 1 account.

I also efiled, and sent my.injured spouse form in after finding out they had ofset my refund. I didn’t know until my refund was supposed to be dd. I sent the form in around Feb 8th. I was told today that they are sending it on the 13th of April. Also said that they are not direct depositing it and will be sent in check form. I do owe turbotax fees so not sure how that works but I’m just glad to be done with it. I was the only one earning income and I’m getting my full refund amount sent to me.

I efiled in Jan and didn’t know they could take my money for my ex’s bills! My husband and I filed for a divorce last year, but since it wasn’t final yet we did our taxes joint. I didn’t even know he owed an old student loan. I was the only one with any income the whole year. When I realized this, I turned my injured spouce form into my local office and they said, “Allow about 8 weeks.” It has been almost 8 weeks and I’m anxious. However, everywhere I read says not to panic until 16 weeks! I worry really bad about things. I am the only one caring for our daughter and she needs supplies and clothes for Kindergarten and I don’t get any help at all financially from him. He doesn’t work. I’m so upset. I owe our lawyer some money before the divorce is finalized and I’m between a rock and a hard place because I can’t get my divorce until I get the tax check. I feel so upset about all of this.

filed on 1/28 mailed form 1/30 was told by irs 2/22 form was recieved 2/3.. spoke with irs today(3/6) and was told to give up to 14 weeks to process form. The letter from the treasury does say 8 weeks.
Last year it took exactly 11 weeks. I was hoping with all the quick turn arounds I am seeing this year I’d have the same luck, guess not.

We e-filed our return on Feb 7th and then mailed the form in on Feb 10th. We call the IRS and they said it takes 14 weeks to be processed but we got a letter from the Treasury saying it would only take 8 weeks. So, which is correct?

Filed taxes through Turbo-Tax all together on 1/30. Still getting the same response from ‘Wheres my refund’ website about the 6 weeks notice. I’ll keep you updated!

Another Question for Turbo-Tax filers: I just received an email from ‘Intuit’ which is the company that Turbo Tax uses to charge us for e-filing our taxes. They said since I didn’t receive my taxes that they couldn’t take out the fee from them, so they are now requesting that I pay them out of pocket or they will automatically debit my bank account! Has anyone else got this message since the IRS is mailing our checks out? I hope this doesn’t mean that my student loans took all of our taxes! If anyone has any idea please let me know! Thanks!

Wow, what a great site for info on the injured spouse form.
I really appreciate all the info input. I just requested the 8379
injured spouse form from the IRS. Looking to have it by next
Tuesday.
Since I’ve been reading all the good advice on this site, I’ll be sure
to file the form correctly. Thank you all for sharing your experiences
with the IRS!
I’ll be sure to let everyone know my 2012 experience. Maybe, I can be of
some help to those who find this site. God Bless All!

Sincerely,
Disabled Donna

We filed our taxes Feb 1 and accepted same day! I went on to check the status of our refund and found out Feb. 8 that it was suppose to be deposited on Feb. 15, and saw note 203, called FMS since i knew i had student loans in default, but didn’t expect them to offset the refund since i don’t work. It turns out they did an offset on my husbands refund because we filed married jointly, its crap that they can do that! but it is what it is. So on Feb. 15 since i did not see the refund in our account, i was certain they had taken it anyways, so my husband filed out form 8379 and mailed it to our nearest IRS office, which is maybe 49 minutes away. I just want to know how long do i wait to check if the for was received? do i call my IRS office, or do i call IRS? i know i have to wait 8 weeks (April 16) but i want to know when they received it, so i can start counting for my 8 weeks from date of receipt. I read a lot and i know after 8 weeks or 30 days if i don’t hear nothing, our next step would be a tax advocate. We have an appointment on the 22 of Feb. to talk to a tax expert to get some advice and get informed, maybe he can get us some info! I would really like to know if there’s a number i can call 5-7 days from the day we mailed out the form to get a confirmation the form was received??????

I filed my 8379 along with my W2 and my wife’s unemployment 1/27 and it was received and being processed the very same day somehow… I used TurboTax.

Well it initially did say my return would be issued Feb 17th but then it changed to “within six weeks of the received date.”…
Not a word from the IRS yet of any delays of any kind by email or letter.

I hope to receive most of the return they calculated ($5,097.00) because normally they take everything due to my wife’s defaulted student loan. I’ll keep everyone updated.

I went to H&R Block, this is my first year filing injured spouse. The IRS told me 11 weeks. Hopefully sooner. I will keep everyone posted. I filed Jan 24 2012 and got an email from IRS saying they received it Jan 25

Husband filed a 8379, sent it to the fresno office in California. Our refund was offset for the entire amount. I defaulted on my student loan and since its my default not his. Will he be entitled to his entire refund back??

Thank you so much AnonymousThomas for sharing. I am really curious to know if the system has gotten any quicker; since the IRS has change their processing system and all. I pray that everyone that has to file an injured spouse form keeps us updated to what’s it like this year. I agree!!

Thanks again!

i file turbotax each year and if you call they will send you a program that has the inuured spouse form on it so you have to mail nothing, you just drop down form and fill out and efile with taxes all at once, very easy, i filed on 1/27 so i wil let everyone know how long it takes they said 7-14 days and irs says depends on reason for injured spouse but i file every year for 12 years now so it should be simple. {praying hands}…., i don’t work so they always take my husbands taxes for my student loans i got before we met…. again this is for 2012, everyone post their experiences with this this year and if you need help i posted my email im glad to help anyone i can get around this nuisance.
