You Shouldn't Be Held Responsible for Your Spouse's Tax Misdeeds
When a joint tax return contains errors or omissions caused by your spouse or former spouse, you may be able to escape your joint and several tax liability through Innocent Spouse Relief. The IRS provides three forms of relief for individuals who were victimized by their partner's fraud or income misrepresentation.
- Innocent Spouse Relief (Section 6015(b)) qualification analysis
- Separation of Liability Relief (Section 6015(c)) for divorced spouses
- Equitable Relief (Section 6015(f)) where other relief is unavailable
- Form 8857 preparation and submission
- Documentation and supporting statement development
- IRS communication and negotiation throughout the process
- Relief appeal if initial claim is denied
