Taxpayer filed MFJ in 2012 and jointly received a refund. Taxpayer is now divorced and said that husband will be claiming the 2012 refund as income. Is there a requirement that taxpayer claims a portion of refund on her tax return?

Only that the entire refund (if it gave rise to tax savings) be reported. I see nothing wrong with former spice (plural of spouse) allocating as they see fit, similar to what partners may.
