If you filed the Form 8379 by itself after a joint return has been processed by the IRS, then processing will take about 8 weeks.

If you file Form 8379 with your original return, it may take 11 weeks to process an electronically-filed return or 14 weeks if you filed a paper return. More details are here https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc203.html

If it's been longer than the number of weeks mentioned above, you can call the IRS to check the status of it. You can also call the IRS tax refund hotline at 800-829-4477, Monday - Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m.

Thats a lie. I filed mine back in March and I haven't heard so much as a "screw you" in return. Its stupid how when you owe them money they're all over you, but when they owe you, it takes years to get paid. I'm about to just get me a job working under the table if they're going to keep doing me like this. I'm sick of being taxed to death. Everytime you make a little money the government has their greedy hands out. Where does the government help the middle class anyways? Nowhere i see. All they do is tax us to death and make us work until we're 70.

@Joshtraffanstedt Not sure what you are reading in this thread that you think is a lie. In an earlier post you stated that you received your income tax refund in March, and afterward you filed the injured spouse form. You must have mailed that form, since it could not be e-filed on its own. It is taking the IRS many months to process mailed returns and other documents that have been mailed to them. Many mailed returns have not even been opened months later, so, sorry, you must expect a wait for them to open your envelope and process your injured spouse form. Your injured spouse form has to be handled by a human; anything that you send in that requires human attention from the IRS will take much longer than normal, since they are severely backlogged.

I called 1 [phone number removed] and didn't dial any options and it put me through to an agent. They were able to verify they had not received my innocent spouse relief form. They told me to fax it to [phone number removed] and wait a week to follow up.
