Many of our clients have tax liability that arose from a former or current spouse. They might not have had anything to do with incurring the tax liability. A business may have failed. A former spouse might have not paid taxes and the IRS is collecting from whoever is available and convenient to collect from.
A tax refund might have been seized for a former spouse's liability. There are many situations where the IRS seeks to recover from a spouse who really did not have anything to do with incurring the tax..
The IRS has a program called Innocent Spouse. If you qualify, you won't be held liable for a former or current spouse's tax liability.
Innocent Spouse is not an easy status to get. It will be necessary to prove that it was truly the fault of the other spouse. The taxpayer seeking Innocent Spouse will have to establish that they were not involved in incurring the tax liability.
There are several different ways to approach Innocent Spouse. There are separate grounds depending on the particular situation. The rules are complicated. We strongly suggest that you obtain the help of a skilled Tax Attorney to assist if you are seeking Innocent Spouse relief.
