Understanding Innocent Spouse Relief

Innocent Spouse Relief is a provision offered by the IRS that allows a taxpayer to be relieved from joint tax liabilities if their spouse or former spouse incorrectly reported items or omitted them on their tax return. This relief is available to individuals who can prove that they were unaware or had no reason to know of the incorrect information. Innocent Spouse Relief can provide significant relief for taxpayers who find themselves unfairly burdened with tax liabilities resulting from actions taken by their spouse.

What Does the Innocent Spouse Process Involve?

The Innocent Spouse Relief process involves several steps aimed at determining the eligibility of the taxpayer for relief. First, the taxpayer must file Form 8857, Request for Innocent Spouse Relief, with the IRS. This form requires detailed information about the taxpayer’s marital status, income, and the specific tax items for which relief is sought. 

The IRS will then review the request and may request additional information or documentation to support the claim. If the IRS grants relief, the innocent spouse will be relieved of the tax liability associated with the erroneous items on the joint return.
