continue to file "injured spouse" with the IRS...you will not be able to do this forever...the debt will remain till he works out Something with the IRS...he can also be reprimanded to jail, if the IRS wants to...you will not be able to own a home, if you do the IRS can foreclose on it, and you will really have a mess then! get him to go to the IRS, or life will get worse...

Can IRS offset our federal tax refund for my spouse unpaid credit card bills, if we file jointly. He is unemployed.

If there is a judgement from a credit card company, they can garnish your taxes.
