INNOCENT SPOUSE RELIEF CORAL GABLES

Perhaps your spouse ran the family's business affairs and you signed the joint return without question. After a separation, you learn that income was left out, and the IRS is now writing to you. You may have options.

Your responsibility on a joint return

Each spouse is generally responsible for the full tax, even after a divorce.

Possible relief

• Innocent spouse relief for an understatement you did not know about
• Separation of liability for those who are divorced, widowed or separated
• Equitable relief in other unfair situations

Next steps

Relief is requested on Form 8857, and time limits can apply. We can review your situation in a private phone or online appointment.
