Can a return be amended to claim an injured spouse?

I completed a return for a young lady who married not long ago. Her husband hadn't filed for 2 years. The IRS sent her (them) a letter. My client told me that the IRS said they're tax preparer should have known to file an injured spouse form and she would have received 1/2 of the refund. Anyone with experience with this? Can I amend the return right away and will it do any good?

I am pretty sure you can file the 8379 form by itself.

If my post did not answer your question, get a paid Intuit employee's answer for Lacerte questions at 800-933-9999. Oh, and enjoy the elevator music while you wait.

You can file the 8379, but don't assume she will get 1/2 back. The refund will depend on who earned the wages, paid the withholding, and who claims any dependents, if there are any.
