Innocent Spouse Relief Tax Service: How We Can Help

How Innocent Spouse Relief Works

When married couples file a joint tax return, each spouse is equally liable for any taxes owed on that tax return. The IRS can legally go after either spouse (even if divorced) for the taxes owed. The IRS and some states understand that there are circumstances in which  it would not be fair to hold a certain spouse responsible for back taxes or unpaid taxes. Therefore, innocent spouse relief (ISR) was created.

With innocent spouse relief the IRS and some states allow the “innocent” party to not be held liable for the taxes owed that resulted from errors or mistakes made by the other party. If taxing authorities (through extensive tax filings and personal documentation) determine that an individual qualifies for innocent spouse relief, they may release full tax liability from the individual.
