There are three types of relief from joint and several liability for spouses who filed joint returns: 1. Innocent Spouse Relief provides you relief from additional tax you owe if your spouse or former spouse failed to report income, reported income improperly or claimed improper deductions or credits. This is the most means of success. 2. Separation of Liability Relief provides for the allocation of additional tax owed between you and your spouse or former spouse because an item was not reported properly on a joint return. The tax allocated to you is the amount for which you are responsible. The IRS will refigure your tax return. 3. Equitable Relieff may apply when you do not qualify for innocent spouse relief or separation of liability relief for something not reported properly on a joint return. You may also qualify for equitable relief if the correct amount of tax was reported on your joint return but the tax remains unpaid.
A very Important note to be aware of: You must request relief no later than 2 years after the date the IRS first attempted to collect the tax from you, regardless of the type of relief you are seeking.
You must meet all of the following conditions to qualify for “innocent spouse relief:”
1. You filed a joint return, which has an understatement of tax directly related to your spouse’s erroneous items. Any income omitted from the joint return is an erroneous item. Deductions, credits, and property bases are erroneous items if they are incorrectly reported on the joint return.
2. You establish that at the time you signed the joint return you did not know, and had no reason to know, that there was an understatement of tax.
3. Taking into account all the facts and circumstances, it would be unfair to hold you liable for the understatement of tax.
To qualify for “separation of liability relief” you must have filed a joint return and must meet one of the following requirements at the time you request relief:
1. You are divorced or legally separated from the spouse with whom you filed the joint return for which you are requesting relief
