If you are filing Form 8379 by mail with your joint return, mail both documents to the Internal Revenue Service Center for the area where you live.

 

If you are filing the form separately from your joint return, mail it to the same service center where you sent your joint return.

 

Generally:

  • If you file Form 8379 with a joint return electronically, the time needed to process it is about 11 weeks.
  • If you file Form 8379 with a joint return on paper, the time needed is about 14 weeks.
  • If you file Form 8379 by itself after a joint return has already been processed, the time needed is about 8 weeks.
