Innocent Spouse Relief - Separation of Liability

Due to the legal concept called “joint and several” liability, each spouse is legally liable for all the tax owed on a joint return even though the income and resulting tax liability may be mostly or completely attributable to only one of the spouses.

Separation of Liability filing must occur within two years of IRS initiating collection activity.
