Innocent Spouse Relief can relieve tax, interest and penalties that resulted from filing a joint tax return with your current or former spouse.
While filing your taxes jointly can be beneficial, it also means that both individuals are jointly and individually responsible for the taxes that are owed, even if one spouse made all of the taxable income.
In many cases, the person who is responsible for the problem is not collectible, and the IRS ends up collecting solely from the "innocent spouse". Innocent spouse relief was created for situations where it would be unfair to hold the innocent spouse liable for the tax liability.
