A. Neither 1 or 2
B. 1 only
C. 2 only
D. Both 1 and 2
Explanation:
A person may be an injured spouse if filing the return could impair their refund. A taxpayer may be an injured spouse if they file a joint tax return and all or part of their portion of an overpayment was, or is expected to be, applied (offset) to their spouse's past-due obligation. Form 8379, Injured Spouse Allocation can be filed with the joint tax return, amended tax return, or by itself after the tax return has been filed subject to the statute of limitations for claiming a refund.
