|  | Innocent Spouse ReliefIt's a fact of life for many couples throughout the United States - in many cases, filing your taxes jointly is simply so much more beneficial. The downfall is simply that you and your spouse are jointly and individually responsible for taxes payable, and any interest or penalties. If one spouse then refuses to pay taxes, you are then responsible for the balance, despite your intentions. This can be tricky, specifically in separation or divorce situations. However, starting in 1998, the IRS began applying much less strict rules in order for a taxpayer to receive what is called "Innocent Spouse Relief". In some cases, in fact, the IRS will completely relieve a spouse of tax interest and penalties due on a joint tax return. In order to obtain Innocent Spouse Relief, there are three current choices which can be applied for. Those types of Innocent Spouse Relief include: Innocent Spouse Relief, Equitable Relief and Separation of Liability. Each of these types has its own requirements and qualifications, which is important to note. Your best course of action when determining whether Innocent Spouse Relief should be for you to have your situation assessed by an expert first. Contact us today to get a free consultation. Remember also, that the quicker you act, the more likely you are to receive Innocent Spouse Relief. Relief MUST be sought within two years of the IRS collection commencement of the tax assessment or deficiency.
