Our return has been approved, but the tax offset is taking the entire tax return. The debt is not mine and the income on the return is all mine.

You can file an injured spouse form to protect the part of the refund that can be attributed to your income. It can be mailed and will take several months to be processed.

Note: Using the injured spouse form delays your refund for at least 14 weeks.
