So you filed a joint tax return with your spouse and your spouse had some past due debts that offset your overpayment and the IRS paid you nothing. If you are not responsible for your spouse's past due debts, then this was a mistake by the IRS. You have the right to demand your portion of the overpayment. So don't let the IRS get any more of your hard-earned money, money that they don't have the right to collect.
