2014 Injured Spouse

In the exemptions row of IS form, can the injured spouse claim all exemptions (husband, wife & 2 children)? Or would the injured spouse only be able to claim 3 exemptions & then other spouse 1?

Thanks!

@Ashley: If available, your codes will be listed under “transactions” towards the bottom of the first page of your transcript.

Update: My WMR updated to 2 bars and a 3/12 Direct Deposit Date around 4 a.m. this morning.
That time frame falls right in line with the past 3 years; about 6 weeks total.

Let me STRONGLY advise people to file their 8379 electronically along with their return, rather than mailing it in separately. I know that the IRS wording makes it appear that mailing it in separately will get it worked faster; but I also know what I see, year after year, as the fastest method.

Good luck to all of the other 8379’ers!

@Treestone: The 570 code is a freeze on processing; in your case, for the 8379 to be worked. It should appear on your transcript, once you can view them. Based on my own experiences, you should have your refund about 3 weeks after your 570 code date…assuming there is nothing else wrong with your return.

@Charlotte – Not if your husband had all of the income; we claim 0 and 6 every year. Any way around it, don’t mail in another IS form or amend your return in any way until the first one is resolved, you’ll just start everything over again.

@Ashley – Don’t worry about the cycle date if you filed an 8379. The part of your transcript you should be concerned with are the codes shown; the date next to the 570 is the date the IRS should work address the 8379 by, and if you have an 846, your refund has been scheduled.

I think we made a mistake on our IS form — my husband the “injured spouse” claimed 4 exemptions & I (the other spouse) claimed 0 exemptions. It should have been 3 & 1 right?

How do I correct this — we already mailed in the form. Should I mail in another IS with correct exemptions? SO mad we made this mistake.

Just keep in mind the IRS is a collection agency/department for IMF/Treasury/US of A corporation.
Debt collectors are scum bags. They’ll lie, cheat, intimidate, ect.
Don’t take it personal, it’s their chosen career to do such.
Just thank goodness you are not in their shoes.
Imagine being paid to screw people with scum bag tactics.
whewwww

If you file Form 8379 separately, please be sure to attach a copy of all Forms W-2 and W-2G for both spouses, and any Forms 1099 showing federal income tax withholding, to Form 8379. The processing of Form 8379 may be delayed if these forms are not attached, if the form is incomplete when filed, or if you attach a copy of your joint tax return.

Where you send it to is based on where you would send your normal taxes to which I believe you can find at http://www.irs.gov/uac/Where-To-File-Addresses-for-Tax-Professionals. It can also be found in the 1040 instructions I think. I did the exact same thing last year and it took an additional 8 weeks to get some of my money back.

This year I was accepted on 1/31. I did some reseach and last year when I filed the injured spouse form my return was accepted on 1/26 and I received it on 3/21. bummer. hopefully it wont take that long this year.
