What Is Innocent Spouse Relief?
Innocent Spouse Relief is an IRS tax relief program which allows you to claim that you are not responsible for the tax debt, interest, and penalties assessed to you because of a joint return filed by your spouse (or ex spouse). The wrong information provided on the joint tax return is solely their fault, and as such you should be freed from the liability.
The IRS will require you to prove to them that without a reason of a doubt you have in no way benefited, had knowledge off, or took part in the wrongful information. Innocent Spouse Relief if properly qualified is a powerful IRS tax relief program which can protect you from tax debt you should not owe. MyTaxHelpAttorney.com’s tax professionals will help you better understand your case, to help you qualify and submit your request for Innocent Spouse Relief. Even if you do not qualify for Innocent Spouse Relief, there are many other tax relief programs which you may qualify for.

Original Innocent Spouse Relief

- You filed a joint tax return with your spouse, or ex-spouse that you are asking to be relieved from the tax liability. The joint return must contain wrongful information placed there by your spouse to lower the tax debt.
- If you can prove that when the return was filed you had no knowledge, benefit, or responsibility for the understatement of taxes.
- That based on your request for Innocent Spouse Relief, the IRS should deem it as unfair for you to be responsible for the understatement of tax debt.
Common determining factors include;
- Whether you took advantage of the understatement of tax liability;
- Whether you were neglected by your spouse or former spouse;
- Whether you are currently divorced or separated from your spouse;
- Whether you received any money or financial benefits from the additional tax return funds.
