Learning Objective

  • To describe the Allocation of Liability
  • To recognize when clients are not entitled to Innocent Spouse Relief
  • To identify simple strategies to help clients avoid refund offsets in the first place
  • To identify special Rules for Certain Cases
  • To list various circumstances where innocent spouse relief may apply.

Course Overview

Married individuals can either file a joint income tax return or, if they choose, may file two separate tax returns. Filing separate tax returns is usually (but not always, as you will see) done to reduce tax liability. However, if finding the lowest tax liability is your main concern, there are no actual guidelines for determining which filing method you should use. If this is your goal, you need to calculate the tax liability under both scenarios to see which is better. Nonetheless, there are other factors you need to consider.

If the tax is paid, no problem, right? But what if the liability is not paid? Or what if there is a large audit assessment and the debt can’t be paid? Worse, what if they divorce and the audit adjustment was attributable to one former spouse, but the IRS is trying to collect from the other, “innocent” one? Learn your options here.

This online CPE webinar covers the following key topics:
