Please follow these instructions in order to complete Form 8379 after you have already filed in TurboTax online:

  • Login to your TurboTax Account 
  • Select "Tax Home" from the left side of your screen
  • Select "Show" next to your "Returns & Documents"
  • Choose the year you want to add the Form 8379, then select Amend (change) return. [Note, you are not really Amending your return, this is just how you get to the form in order to fill it out.]
  • Click "Search" in the upper right corner, then type "Injured Spouse" in the Search Box 
  • When the results populate, click the "Jump to Link"
  • Click "Yes" where it asks "Do you want to claim innocent or injured spouse relief?"
  • From here TurboTax will walk you through preparing an Injured Spouse Form 8379
  • Once finished, you will need to print, sign and mail your Form 8379

The original post can be found here. Please note, the IRS will not process any paper forms till they reopen.
