The Alaska Request for Release of Joint Federal Tax Refund is a form used by married couples in Alaska to request the IRS to release the joint federal tax refund to one spouse or to split the amount between both spouses. The request must be sent to the IRS before the refund is released and must include both spouses’ signatures. There are two types of Alaska Request for Release of Joint Federal Tax Refund: Form 8379 — Injured Spouse Allocation and Form 8888 — Direct Deposit or Direct Payment. Form 8379 is used when one spouse is claiming an injured spouse allocation and Form 8888 is used when the couple wants to split the refund amount between both spouses or when one spouse wants to direct the refund to their own bank account. Both forms require the same information to be provided, such as the full names and Social Security numbers of both spouses, the amount of the refund that is being requested, and the address of the requesting party.
