The New Innocent Spouse Provision.
The new rule for the innocent spouse relief program.
The two-year time limit no longer applies for innocent spouse requests for equitable relief. The IRS will consider a request for equitable relief if the collection statute of limitations for the tax years involved has not expired, or if the taxpayer is seeking a refund, if the refund statute of limitations has not expired.
Many taxpayers that were previously denied because of the two-year limit may now qualify for relief. Call us today to find out more 1-866-700-1040.
Frequently asked Questions about Innocent Spouse
Does the New Tax Law changes apply to all requests for innocent spouse relief?
The new tax change applies only to requests for equitable relief.
The two-year limit continues to apply to requests submitted on other grounds.
The change applies to new innocent spouse requests, based on:
1. equitable relief, requests currently under consideration by the IRS or the court, and
2. to requests that were previously disallowed by the IRS due to the two-year limit.
Do taxpayers need to do anything if they previously asked the IRS to suspend consideration of their equitable relief request while the two-year deadline was being appealed in court?
No.
If a taxpayer requested that the IRS suspend consideration of their equitable relief request while the two-year deadline was being appealed in court, the IRS will review the original request for relief and provide notification to taxpayers who had their request suspended at that time.
The taxpayer does not need to resubmit a claim for relief.
Who can or should reapply for relief?
Taxpayer(s) seeking equitable relief, who were previously denied due to the two-year limit, may now reapply by using IRS Form 8857, Request for Innocent Spouse Relief, if the collection statute of limitations for the tax years involved has not expired, or if appropriate, the refund statute of limitations has not expired.
The IRS will treat the taxpayer’s original request for equitable relief as a claim for refund for purposes of the refund statute.
Will collection activity continue if a taxpayer reapplies for relief?
When a taxpayer reapplies for relief after having a prior request denied because it was untimely, the IRS is prohibited by statute from taking any new collection action against the taxpayer for the tax years involved.
IRS collection activity taken prior to the filing of the claim would remain in place such as IRS Tax Levy, Tax Garnishment or Federal Tax Lien.
As a result, the statute provides that the collection statute of limitations for tax years will be suspended during the time the IRS is prohibited from collecting.
If the taxpayer has any questions, the taxpayer may contact the Chief Counsel attorney.
When can taxpayers be notified if they’ve been granted relief under this new provision?
The IRS will advise taxpayers within 90 days of the progress of their case. It may take some time to contact the person who was the applicant’s spouse during the tax year in question (as required by law).
There will be no new collection activity while processing these types of requests. It may also take some time to work through and make final determinations with respect to cases currently in suspense.

How the IRS works non-filers.
IRS Enforcement of Non-Filers.
IRS has different ways to identify non filers. IRS can find out through spouses, businesses, other State or Government Agencies and through W-2, 1099 matches.
The only obligation that the IRS has is to attempt to contact the taxpayer at the last known address.
So once non-filer taxpayers have been identified, “soft notices” such as the CP 5919 or CP25920 are sent notifying the taxpayer that a return(s) has not been filed.
As to the individual taxpayer, the notice informs the non-filer that he will need to contact the IRS if he doesn’t believe a tax return is due, or to seek assistance with filing and payment of tax if one is due.
Once the soft notice letter is sent with no response received, a second letter or notice similar to (Letter 4903) is sent prior to an SFR being prepared and a tax assessed.
If the IRS does not hear from the taxpayer(s), and it already has information available, through Forms W-2, 1099, etc., it will create an SFR or Substitute For Return as the next step. Sometimes it may attempt to contact the taxpayer by telephone, or it may assign the case to the field.
The IRS uses the SFR ( substitute for return ) as a last alternative only after making attempts to contact the taxpayer by phone or in person since those approaches may be more effective.
When the SFR is sent to the taxpayer, it may prompt the taxpayer to file a correct return since an SFR does not allow for deductions, exemptions, credits, etc., and simply shows the income that the IRS has confirmed from third party input. IRS will do you no favors when they prepare the return. You will owe the highest tax.
Overinflated tax numbers are provided creating an SFR will be the impetus for the taxpayer to come to talk to the IRS.
If the SFR has been prepared and the taxpayer is still not in contact with the IRS, the IRS has other programs that can be used to assist in developing and maintaining taxpayer compliance to pay the tax assessed by the SFR, including the Withholding Compliance and the Refund Hold programs.
In combination, the SFR, Withholding Compliance and Refund Hold programs not only provide a way to pay the assessment, but further encourage the taxpayer to contact the IRS or to file a return in hopes of obtaining a refund based on actual deductions and credits that are not available through the SFR program.

Do not be bullied by the IRS. Find out the truth about FBAR disclosures to the IRS.
You have options. We can file and settle your case.
Call us today, we are comprised of Board Certified Tax Attorneys, Tax Lawyers, CPA’s and Former IRS Agents, Managers and Instructors. 1-866-700-1040.
We have over 206 years of total tax experience and over 60 years of direct IRS experience in resolving IRS tax issues and tax problems. We are a full service tax firm with all work being done in house by true tax experts.
We are true Tax Experts of FBAR and Expatriate Tax Issues.
There is a great deal on the web and in press releases that has scared many FBAR filers and Expats into taking position on the filing of FBAR that makes one believe that everything must go through Criminal Investigation.
The reality is that few taxpayers are tax criminals. What is so sad it that the IRS has scared everyone to death regarding FBAR.
The truth be told you have the option of making a Silent Disclosure.
Some taxpayers have already made quiet disclosures by filing amended returns.
Before a decision is made on each case, a tax attorney or tax lawyer will use a set of facts particular to that case. There are no two cases the same, each has a unique set of circumstances.
With that said Quiet Disclosure are not for everyone that is why a careful review must be made on each case.
Taxpayers with unreported foreign bank accounts present themselves and their professional advisers with a bunch of very important important decisions they need to make.
These tax and filing decisions must be made based on a very careful review of all material, information, an understanding of the potential tax penalties and interest involved, and the exposure to any other financial crimes, criminal implications or tax penalties.
Regardless of how tempting under no circumstances should Attorneys or Lawyers and taxpayers ignore reporting tax and FBAR tax requirements simply because the IRS has not yet raised the issue in the client’s specific case.
Our rule of thumb, find IRS before they find you.
How the process works.
The IRS does review amended returns and could select any amended return for examination.
If a tax return is selected for examination, the 20 percent offshore penalty would not be available.
Criminal Behavior
When criminal behavior is evident and the disclosure does not meet the requirements of a voluntary disclosure under IRM 9.5.11.9, the IRS may recommend criminal prosecution to the Department of Justice.
Taxpayers who have already made quiet disclosures but have not yet been selected for examination may take advantage of the penalty framework applicable to voluntary disclosure requests regarding unreported offshore accounts and entities, provided they otherwise meet the criteria for voluntary disclosure set forth in IRM 9.5.11.9.
Call us for more detail. 1-866-700-1040. Privileged conversation with a tax attorney or tax lawyers.
What possible forms are needed to be Filed with the IRS ?
Besides federal income tax returns, what forms or other returns must be filed?
The following forms must be filed:
a. Copies of original and amended federal income tax returns for tax periods covered by the voluntary disclosure,
b. Complete and accurate amended federal income tax returns (or original returns, if not previously filed) of the taxpayer for all tax years covered by the voluntary disclosure;
c. An explanation of previously unreported or under reported income or incorrectly claimed deductions or credits related to undisclosed foreign accounts or undisclosed foreign entities, including the reason(s) for the error or omission,
