INNOCENT SPOUSE RELIEF
If the IRS is coming after you for tax debt that started when you filed a joint return with a spouse, and you don’t know WHAT your spouse (or then-spouse) did, ABE’S ATS encourages you to call to see if you qualify for innocent spouse relief.
YOU BOTH SIGNED THE TAX RETURN BUT YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT HE/SHE DID
When you sign a tax return to file jointly with a spouse, yes, the IRS holds BOTH of you responsible to pay the tax – but if you BOTH don’t pay the tax debt – then the IRS will come after EACH of you INDIVIDUALLY for the WHOLE tax debt. The IRS is federal jurisdiction and ignores state proceedings when assessing or collecting federal income tax. If your spouse did something improper with the tax filing that led to the tax debt the IRS is now trying to collect from you, what you need specifically is IRS Innocent Spouse Relief.
