LET’S SOLVE YOUR TAX PROBLEM TOGETHER.
What is Innocent Spouse Relief?
You may find yourself holding the bag for tax debt that is actually the responsibility of your spouse, or ex-spouse. Fortunately there is a solution for this tax problem if your circumstances qualify.
- Did your spouse or ex-spouse file a return with you that omitted income or resulted in an understatement of tax due? Were you unaware of this omission when you signed the jointly filed return?
- Were there items on your tax return that were listed erroneously based on the actions of your spouse or ex-spouse?
- Did your ex-spouse participate in a fraudulent transfer of property or assets that you were unaware of?
If any of the above conditions apply, you may have a case for “Innocent Spouse Relief.” This law provides relief from responsibility for paying tax, interest and penalties resulting from erroneous items claimed by an ex-spouse.
