Learning Objective

  • To review form 8857, and how the IRS processes and reacts.
  • To discuss form 8379, and how the IRS processes and reacts.
  • To analyze basic techniques for the 8857 Innocent Spouse Form, to defend the taxpayer.

Course Overview

You may be an injured spouse if you file a joint tax return and all or part of your portion of the overpayment was or is expected to be, applied (offset) to your spouse's legally enforceable past-due federal tax, state income tax, child or spousal support, or a federal nontax debt, such as a student loan.

There are two separate forms relating to injured/innocent spouses, Form 8379 and Form 8857:

  • Form 8379 Injured Spouse Allocation an injured spouse claim is for allocation of a refund of a joint refund, while
  • Form 8857 an innocent spouse claim is for relief or allocation of joint and several liabilities reflected on a joint return.

Major topics covered in this Tax Webinar:

  • Injured vs Innocent
  • Injured Spouse Allocation, and Types of relief available
  • Separation of Liability
  • Factors for Equitable Relief
  • Duress or Abuse
  • Limited Disclosure to Non-Requesting Spouse

This CE Tax course will highlight the difference between the two IRS forms; 8857 Innocent Spouse and 8379 Injured Spouse Allocation. We will also review the pitfalls of a possible conflict of interest.  We will use break-out groups to learn when to use each.  

All attendees will receive a copy of the material; PowerPoint will be used in a PDF format to scroll through letters.
