Some benefits are received from joint tax returns, that's why married taxpayers choose it. But what happens if your taxes are filed with errors in them? It's a big IRS problem. Joint taxpayers are responsible for the understated tax and any additional penalties and interest that are attached to it. Even if you and your spouse are divorced, you may still be responsible for these taxes.

Fortunately, innocent spouse relief will release you from the burden of those taxes. Let our company solve your IRS problems by walking you through the process.

Our company will help you determine your innocent spouse relief status through these criteria, as the same rules don't apply in all 50 states:

• An understatement of tax due due to an error in income, tax credits, or incorrect deductions showed in the joint tax return you filed.
• When you signed the tax return, you were unaware of the understatement.
• The circumstances prove that holding you responsible for the understatement is unfair.
• The understatement was not directly or indirectly beneficial to you.

It is important to note that you have to make your request no later than two years after the date that the IRS first tried to collect the tax.

Our firm will help you fill out and file Form 8857, Request for Innocent Spouse Relief, with the IRS. A written statement with the same information on the Form 8857 can also be submitted. It isn't your task to determine the amount of tax, interest, and penalties as the IRS will do that for you.

The IRS will notify your spouse about your request. Information given by your spouse may affect the result of your request.
