I am preparing a Form 8379 for a client. On line 9 it says will you claim a refundable tax credit. When I checked no, it says do not file this form. I had to check yes to go to Part II. My client has no refundable tax credits but they qualify for the injured spouse form. Am I looking at this wrong?
Its been years since Ive needed this form and Im in CA so community property rules apply...does the injured spouse have any withholding to protect? If not and no refundable credits, there may be no reason for the form.
