If you have filed a joint tax return with your current or ex-spouse, any amount of tax owed by one spouse is considered a joint tax liability. The IRS will continue collecting unpaid taxes from both spouses, until the tax is paid in full. However a spouse can get tax relief so long as he or she has a reasonable cause and considered innocent under IRS’ guidelines. Meet with a Tax Attorney to find out if you are a good candidate for Innocent Spouse Relief.
