Injured Spouse Relief

If you file a joint return and all or part of your refund is applied against your spouse’s past-due federal tax, state income tax, child or spousal support or federal nontax debt (such as a student loan), you may be entitled to injured spouse relief.

Beware that there are different prescribed periods to file the claim for this type of relief if the money is applied against tax debt or nontax debt. Do not wait. Call us.
