Innocent Spouse Relief
What is Innocent Spouse Relief?
Innocent spouse relief can help to remove the tax liability from a particular spouse that had no knowledge of the infraction. There are three different ways which innocent spouse relief can be administered.
Traditional Innocent Spouse Relief: Innocent spouse relief that is administered to joint-filers when one of those filers was unaware of the issue that created the tax liability. In situation, the filers are generally married couples.
Separation of Liability:
Innocent spouse relief that is administered to joint-filers when one of those filers was unaware of the issue that created the liability and the joint-filers are separated.
Equitable Relief:
Innocent spouse relief that is administered to joint-filers when one of those filers was unaware of the issue that created the liability and the filer does not meet the requirements for the previous two determinations.
No matter what determination the innocent spouse relief is enacted, the non-electing spouse or partner will be notified and has the ability to participate in the proceedings. The purpose of Innocent Spouse Relief is to provide relief to the spouse who was unaware or not responsible for the creation of a tax liability.
