In fact, there are stringent conditions that must be met. Innocent spouse relief is not granted as a matter of course but is rather decided on a case-by-case basis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of the following conditions must be present in order for the IRS to grant your innocent spouse request:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The understatement was due to an erroneous item listed by or belonging to the other spouse.<\/li><li>You were not aware of the understatement, nor did you have any reason to be aware of it.<\/li><li>Holding you responsible for the erroneous tax will be unfair and will lead to an inequitable situation.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If all of the following conditions are met then your request may be granted by the IRS.

A taxpayer will be considered eligible for <a href=\"https:\/\/sacramentotaxlawyers.com\/innocent-spouse-equitable-relief\/\">equitable relief<\/a> if they can show that the unpaid liability (or at least a part of it) is attributable to the other spouse. Being subjected to abuse or financial control by the other spouse may also qualify an individual for equitable relief.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There may be instances when you will be held liable for your spouse\u2019s or former spouse\u2019s tax liability.
