Innocent Spouse Relief

The IRS recognizes that there are situation in which members of a joint tax return are not equally responsible for a tax liability. The Innocent Spouse Relief program is designed to protect the spouse that is not responsible for the tax debt. There are several types of relief available under the innocent spouse program:

Innocent Spouse - 6015(b)
You may qualify for the classic innocent spouse program if your partner filed fraudulent tax returns without your knowledge. This status takes into account liability due to divorce, no knowledge of fraud (or reasonable grounds to know), and abandonment.

Allocation of Liability – 6015(c)
The allocation of liability program divides the liability between the innocent spouse and the joint filer. To qualify for this plan you must be divorced, widowed, or legally separated for at least 12 months before the return was filed. To be placed in this plan, the IRS must establish that you had "actual" knowledge of the misreported return.

Equitable Relief – 6015(f)
If you do not qualify for the programs above, you may find relief through the equitable relief program. In this plan the IRS determines whether it is unfair to hold you liable for the tax debt.

In December 2011 the IRS announced that they will no longer require a 2-year time limit to apply for Innocent Spouse Relief.
