Innocent Spouse Claim

Unfortunately, in marriage and life everything is not always "happily ever after.” The tax debt that follows the break-up of a marriage can be the most lasting and destructive aftershock of a divorce or separation. Many unsuspecting spouses are shocked to later find themselves liable for the old misdeeds of their significant others. Under the innocent spouse rule it may be determined that a spouse is non-liable for tax debts owed if he or she did not know about the errors and/or did not benefit from them.
