IRS Innocent Spouse Relief is a form of tax relief available to qualified taxpayers. If you can demonstrate that your spouse or former spouse underreported income or fraudulently claimed deductions without your knowledge, you can be relieved of the associated tax burden.
- Separation of Liability Relief: In this scenario, the IRS divides the tax liability between you and your spouse. You're only responsible for your allocated portion.
- Injured Spouse Relief: If your refund is used to satisfy your spouse's debt, such as child support, you can file an injured spouse claim to recover your money.
- Equitable Relief: This is requested when you don't qualify for the other two types of relief. The IRS must agree that holding you liable for your spouse's tax debt would be unfair.
To qualify for Innocent Spouse Relief, you must meet several conditions set by the IRS:
- You filed a joint tax return for the relevant year(s).
- The tax liability arose from erroneous items of your spouse or former spouse, such as unreported income or incorrect deductions.
- You were unaware of the understated tax.
- Considering all facts, it would be unfair to hold you responsible for the tax debt.
- You and your spouse (current or former) haven't transferred property to defraud the IRS.
