Innocent Spousal Relief in Los Angeles | Remove Your Tax Liability
Under federal tax law, married couples who file jointly are each jointly and severally liable for any unpaid taxes, penalties and interest. When one spouse is under-reporting income, avoiding taxes, or engages in some other form of malfeasance, the IRS has the right to take action against the other spouse. If the IRS is seeking payment for unpaid taxes that your spouse incurred, you face serious problems. Depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible for tax relief under what is known as “innocent spouse relief.”
How do you qualify for Innocent Spouse Relief?

An erroneous item includes income received by your spouse but omitted from the joint return. Deductions, credits, and property basis are also erroneous items if they’re incorrectly reported on the joint return
- You establish that at the time you signed the joint return you didn’t know, and had no reason to know, that there was an understatement of tax and
- Taking into account all the facts and circumstances, it would be unfair to hold you liable for the understatement of tax
