Innocent Spouse Relief

If your spouse or ex-spouse understated income or overstated deductions on a jointly filed income tax return, you may be eligible to be released from the tax obligation and the related interest and penalties. If you are an innocent spouse, you must show that the understated income or the overstated deductions is attributable to your spouse and that you had no reason to know of the understatement or overstatement.

Additionally, though the Tax Court provides more flexibility, the IRS has taken the position that you must claim to be an innocent spouse within 2 years from the date the IRS began trying to collect from you.

Our staff members have years of experience with innocent spouse claims and are proficient in every aspect of the applicable tax rules and regulations.

When you hire us, we will negotiate directly with the IRS on your behalf and advocate your position as an innocent spouse in order to exonerate you of the tax liability.
