Injured Spouse Relief - When to Use it and How It Works

This video explains what is Injured Spouse Relief, when to use and how it works. Also, the form used to claim injured spouse relief, Form 8379, is reviewed. This form is filed with IRS to protect the injured spouse's refund when the other spouse has a tax debt. IRS does follow the community property states' laws, depending where the taxpayers live. All is not lost if one spouse has a tax debt or other past due obligation. It is best to have a tax professional help complete this filing since the allocations used are precise and, depending on circumstances, looking at certain choices should be considered.
