Innocent Spouse or Injured Spouse
Is the IRS trying to collect taxes from you that your spouse (or former spouse) owes? That’s not fair. You may qualify as an innocent spouse or as an injured spouse. If you don’t qualify as an innocent spouse or injured spouse, you may qualify for an Offer in Compromise or an Installment Agreement.

Innocent Spouse
Married people usually file a joint return because the taxes are less. When you file a joint return, you also chose to be jointly and individually liable for any and all taxes, penalties and interest due on that joint return. This is true even if a divorce decree or other agreement states that your former spouse will be responsible for any amounts due on previously filed joint returns.
If your spouse or ex-spouse understated the tax on a jointly filed return, you are eligible to be released from the obligation for the tax liability and the related interest and penalties. Your only obligations to be released from the liabilities are to show that the understatement of tax is attributable to your spouse and that you had no reason to know of the understatement. Additionally, you must file Form 8857 within 2 years after the IRS has begun to try to collect the tax from you.
Innocent Spouse relief falls into three categories:
- Innocent Spouse Relief
- Separation of Liability
- Equitable Relief
If you qualify, we will file a claim on your behalf as an innocent spouse. Contact ATRS today for a free analysis.
Injured Spouse
It usually happens like this; you and your spouse have filed a joint tax return showing a substantial refund due. You wait and wait for the refund and then you get an envelope from the IRS. But instead of a refund, you find a notice from the IRS that says “Your refund has been applied” (offset) against your spouse’s past-due Federal tax, child or spousal support, Federal non tax debt or state income tax. Now what do you do?
Contact Alliance Tax Resolution Service NOW at 1-800-742-5132.
If you meet certain criteria, we will file a claim for you as an injured spouse and get your portion of the refund.
