My husband decided to claim me and found out that I have an offset that can take the entire refund. >.<
What do I need to do to make sure that that doesn’t happen?
Amend or just file the injured spouse?
We are part of the PATH group as well.

  He did a joint return. (I have told him several years not to do that) but he did this year.
  I was told by the Department of Education to file an injured spouse form and send it in. And they won’t mess with his return. Since I never worked ( I am a stay at home mom). But I don’t know. :/

  He claimed you as a dependent or you guys filed together? If you guys filed together and you didn’t file injured spouse then that money will be taken but if he claimed you as a dependent I don’t believe they can take it as the return is under his social not yours

  File separately. Nothing you can do if there’s a federal offset- they’ll get their money somehow. At least if you do separate they won’t touch his.
