Making a Joint Return and Relief From Joint and Several Liability: Innocent Spouse

 

Understand the different filing options and the different types of relief available to avoid joint and several liability.

The tax code requires anyone liable for federal income tax to file a federal tax return and report their gross income. Individuals subject to tax must select a filing status to determine the appropriate tax rate to be applied. The available filing statuses are unmarried individuals, heads of household, married filing jointly, and married filing separately. Married couples may calculate their Federal income tax liability by filing a joint federal income tax return. This white paper focuses primarily on spouses who file a married filing jointly return.
