What Is Innocent Spouse Relief?

Innocent spouse relief is an IRS program that may help remove responsibility for taxes, penalties, or interest caused by a spouse or former spouse on a jointly filed tax return.

Innocent spouse relief may apply when:

  • A spouse or former spouse underreported income
  • A joint return contained inaccurate information
  • You did not know about unpaid taxes or tax problems
  • Divorce, separation, or financial circumstances affected your situation
  • Paying the tax debt would be unfair based on the facts of the case

Requesting tax relief under this program can become complicated, and your eligibility depends on the details of your case. Our experienced tax attorneys help clients review their circumstances and determine whether filing for innocent spouse relief may be appropriate.
