Innocent Spouse Relief : Closing Agreements

October 20, 2010
Written by: steve

If you need to file for innocent spouse or injured spouse relief, call Fresh Start Tax 1-866-700-1040.  We are the tax experts.

A question we are asked all the time:
I signed a Closing Agreement, can I still apply for innocent spouse relief?
It depends on the type of closing agreement you signed.
If you signed Form 866, Agreement as to Final Determination of the Tax Liability, the tax year is closed with finality and you cannot apply for innocent spouse relief.
If you signed Form 906, Closing Agreement on Final Determination Covering Specific Matters, only those matters covered in the closing agreement are conclusively closed. Innocent spouse relief may be requested for matters not covered in the closing agreement.
