NEW RULES FOR INNOCENT SPOUSE RELIEF EXPANDS PROTECTION!

This new alert in from One Mom's Battle
(see http://onemomsbattle.com/):

New Rule for Innocent Spouse Relief

The IRS announced that it will extend help to more innocent spouses by eliminating the two-year time limit that now applies to certain relief requests. After a thorough review:

  • The IRS will no longer apply the two-year limit to new equitable relief requests or requests currently being considered by the agency.
 
 
  • A taxpayer, whose equitable relief request was previously denied solely due to the two-year limit, may reapply using IRS Form 8857 Request for Innocent Spouse Relief, if the collection statute of limitations for the tax years involved has not expired.
 
 
  • The IRS will not apply the two-year limit in any pending litigation involving equitable relief, and where litigation is final, the agency will suspend collection action under certain circumstances.
