How can I get relief from joint and several liability?
Relief now falls into three categories: Innocent Spouse Relief;
Separation of Liability; and
Equitable Relief. Each of these kinds of relief has different requirements. They are explained separately below.
Can both spouses request relief?
Yes, each spouse can file a Form 8857 to request relief from liability from tax, interest and penalties.
18. Does the non-requesting spouse have any appeal rights?
Per Rev. Proc. 2003-19, the non-requesting spouse has the right to appeal the preliminary determination to grant partial or full relief to the requesting spouse when the preliminary determination letter is issued April 1, 2003 or later. However, the non-requesting spouse may not petition the Tax Court from the final determination letter. If relief is denied in part or in full, and the requesting spouse petitions the U.S. Tax Court, the non-requesting spouse, by law, will be given the opportunity to become a party in that proceeding.
For claims where a preliminary determination was issued prior to April 1, 2003, the non-requesting spouse had no appeal rights when the preliminary determination letter granted relief in part or in full to the requesting spouse. If relief was denied and the requesting spouse petitioned the U.S. Tax Court, the non-requesting spouse, by law, was given the opportunity to be a party in that proceeding.
19. Will the other spouse be notified that I filed a claim for innocent spouse relief?
The IRS is required to notify the non-requesting spouse to allow them to participate. They will also be notified of the determination on your election and have the opportunity to appeal IRS’s preliminary determination to grant you full or partial relief.
