Innocent Spouse Relief: Protecting You from Unfair Tax Liability

Are you facing tax debt due to a spouse’s or ex-spouse’s financial misconduct? You may be eligible for Innocent Spouse Relief, an IRS provision that protects taxpayers from being held responsible for inaccurate or fraudulent tax filings they did not know about or authorize.

At PSA CPA, we understand the emotional and financial burden of being unjustly tied to someone else’s tax mistakes. Our experienced team helps individuals across Maryland and beyond navigate the complexities of Innocent Spouse Relief with clarity, compassion, and confidence.

What Is Innocent Spouse Relief?

Innocent Spouse Relief is a legal option offered by the IRS to relieve individuals of tax liabilities stemming from errors or fraud committed by a current or former spouse on a jointly filed tax return.

You may qualify if:

• You were unaware of unreported income or false deductions/credits on the joint return.

• A spouse or ex-spouse acted dishonestly or deceptively in preparing the return.

• Holding you responsible would be unfair based on your personal and financial circumstances.

Each case is evaluated on its own merits, and the IRS considers factors such as your level of knowledge, your involvement in finances, and whether you benefited from the understated tax.
