Rob,

For Line 7a, Wages:
1. column a, enter the total wages you and your wife earned
in the year in question.

2. column b, enter the wages that were earned by the injured
spouse, that is, the spouse that did not owe the past due
child support, taxes, etc. this is usually the wife but not
always.
3. column c, enter the wages for the other spouse.

NOTE: The amount in column a should equal the sum of the
amounts in columns b and c.

Ex. You owed child support, you had wages of $30,000 and
your wife had wages of $28,000 and you filed a 2005 joint
tax return showing a refund of $3,500, all of which was
offset to pay your past due child support (so your wife is
the injured spouse).

Fill out Form 8379 like this:

This is what happens with normal line wrap via the internet
and is the reason you should limit your line length to 60
cps. I have cleaned it up in the past, but no more. ]
