Question: Form 8379- tax estimators online ACCURATE?
HELP! I had to file a form 8379 (thanks for the nasty surprise, HUBBY). My question is, in trying to figure out how much I will one day get back as my “portion”, are the online tax refund estimators accurate? If so, do I use all the same info as on my regular return, or do I change my filing status to married filing separately, and use both of our incomes, etc.? Please help, I need some light at the end of this tunnel…
I have already completed the form. I would like to know if I can figure out how much I will get back if I use the online tax estimators.
Answer: if you had income,by filing the 8379 injured spouse form you will get back whatever your refund would have been if you had filed separate.
no,you keep your filing status as married/joint and yes use the same info from both your incomes.on the injured spouse form there’s a space for you(the injured spouse) and one for your spouse.the first space is the total of everything on you’ll joint return,then in the 2nd space you would put in your income only,then in the other your spouse’s.
for the deduction if you’ll took the standard deduction put the total deduction taken in box-A then split that total between you two in box-B and C. federal taxes withheld would be the total between you both in box A then your separate withholding and then your spouse’s.
no,because if you calculate it using any other status it will change your refund drastically,because you will have a higher tax liability resulting in a smaller refund amount than what you can expect,so the amount you get from the calculator wouldn’t be accurate enough.
