Taxes

My husband owes back child support that is being paid monthly from his disability check. Will the IRS still take our tax return?

Filing

You may be an injured spouse if you file a joint tax return and all or part of your portion of the overpayment was, or is expected to be, applied (offset) to your spouse’s legally enforceable past-due federal tax, state income tax, child or spousal support, or a federal nontax debt, such as a student loan. You can file form 8379 by itself separately and after you filed your return.
