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.

I filed our taxes early Feb, I got my refund and it was only 1199 out of 4045, I was so unhappy to find out they took my taxes because of back child support of my husband’s despite the fact the he is a full time student and we pay what we can each month. Needless, I sent my form with another copy of my tax return, which you should not do, they thought it was a duplicate, which took 12 weeks for them to figure out and get it over the injured spouse people, which I was told would take another 12 -14 weeks, which is nuts, I called this morning and after holding forever I was told another partial check would be mailed on the 15th, I am still missing 1K of my refund but they claim it’s his portion even though I made 102K and he made 4 K last year, needless to say i asked why they would mail it when i requested direct deposit, she couldn’t tell me why said only maybe it was a gliche in the system which did not cause me to gain faith in the IRS, regardless I am going to increase my deductions so I keep more of my money now and wont have to fight the IRS for it later. She did tell my that my refund collected interest and I would be sent the interest and have to pay taxes on it next year, i almost fell on the floor once i heard that, the IRS is serious about getting every penny they can.

I filed my taxes on Feb.1st they let me wait until March 15th to tell me, “o your wife owes back taxes, you won’t be getting a refund” Found out about injured spouse form, they received it on March 29th. 8weeks will be here on May 24th. Thinking about what I should do next, i’m pretty sure that date is gonna come and go with nothing changing. And one reason the like to play with your money when its time to pay us back is because they collect interest when it sits in their hands. Imagine billions of dollars,(our refunds) collecting interest daily. SO THEY HOLD IT AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.

My husband and I have filed injured spouse before and recieved our refunds alot quicker than the 11 weeks. Our tax preparer filed our w-2′s seperate from the injured spouse form..well this year we filed our own tax’s electronically March 2nd and filed the injured spouse form with it and its been 11 weeks and nothing. no letter no refund. I have called many times and was told its’ not been processed yet. WOW!!! What gets me is that if you owe tax’s they want their money by April 15th of that same year but when they owe you money it takes them forever..Can I charge them interest and penalty on my money they owe me..This is ludacris.I will continue to call the IRS and demand answers. They harrasse you if you owe them,,why not return the favor..

Hello everyone, this is my first year filing and injured spouse form. My form was receieved March 11 and I recieved a letter yesterday stating it was incomplete because you have to send your W-2 with the form if you are sending the form by it self, which my tax guy failed to tell me. They say 6-8 MORE!!! weeks. As Biggie Smalls put it: If you dont know now ya know!!!! I will keep everyone updated.

Well I have received my federal refund on April 29th. What I mentioned last was that I contacted a tax advocate and they contacted me within a week and she told us what we should be getting in a refund and said it should be about May 2 to receive it if not sooner. So I am happy my wait is over and I just wanted to give everyone a update. I dont think I will have to do this next year but you never know. Good luck to everyone else.

I completely agree with Itm3 on this, because no matter how many times you call them or check the site it really doesn’t get you any where. I am still waiting to hear from an advocate on our situation to see if they can help but in mean time we have to wait. I had called yesterday to check on the status since my last call and now they are telling I have to wait till May 2 since they actually start counting 11 weeks from the time they received my 8379 form. So I am not too happy with that since they keep telling different things every time I call. I hope to hear some good news soon..

Checked IRS website today and STILL says there is delay in processing even though I received check 10 days ago. Personally, I think one is simply wasting their time calling and checking website. Save yourself the stress by coming to terms with the fact that it is luck-of-the-draw and there really is nothing you can do. Sad, but true.

What makes me mad is that they steal your money from you so fast but when its time to get your money back , they sit on their thumbs and take their sweet ass time, and you know why, because they dont give a damn really, its not their money, but if it was they would be working like a SOB to speed their refund! The system is nothing less than a organized mafia with all thugs running it, and you or me have no choice but to go with the flow or go to jail!

Thanks Tina for the information on the tax advocate. I decided to fax a 911 form in to my local office to see if I can receive some assistance in the situation. I hope they can help me too and get this moving a little bit faster. I just hope that after this tax year we should not have any more outstanding debt to file that stupid form again. Thanks again for your feedback. I will keep you guys posted on my situation.
