    The state can approach IRS to take your federal tax return only if it is a joint return.
    On the joint return the liabilities are joint. If one spouse owes tax, both spouses are equally responsible. You may file Form 8379 with joint return. The IRS will allocate the refund between you and your spouse. But by filing Form 8379, your refund will be delayed by about 2 months. Your U.S. Tax Return: Filing Status for Married
