    The time it takes depends to process the Injured Spouse form depends on how Form 8379 is filed.

    Per the IRS, if you file Form 8379:

    • On a joint return e-filed – 11 weeks
    • On a joint return filed by mail – 14 week
    • By itself after the joint return has been processed – 8 weeks
