I was divorced earlier this year. My husband and I filed our 2005 tax return jointly so I filed an injury to spouse allocation form to recieve my portion of the tax return. ...so I thought (as did my CPA). When my refund never came, I called the IRS and they said that an injury to spouse form only prevents you from being responsible for any of your spouse's debt. They informed me that they could not split up the tax return and that they had sent the entire refund check to my ex's address. My ex, of course, said that I wouldn't see a penny of the money. My question is...do both parties have to sign the tax return check for it to be deposited? And if so...is it possible that he forged my name and what should I do if that is the case?
