Navigating the complexities of tax law can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to joint tax returns and the potential liabilities they entail. Married taxpayers who file jointly with their spouses often find themselves in situations where they are unfairly held responsible for tax liabilities that they believe should not be their burden to bear. However, relief may be available through the IRS Innocent Spouse Relief provisions outlined in Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 6015. When considering Innocent Spouse Relief, … (0 comments)

eric l green: IRS Tax Compliance: What is Tax Compliance and Why Is It Important?
- 08/12/21 04:04 AM
I spend much of my day resolving taxpayer issues with the IRS. And though everyone wants to focus on the cool stuff - making massive debts vanish for pennies on the dollar - it actually all starts with "Tax Compliance." So what is Tax Compliance you may be asking...good question! Tax Compliance means that the taxpayer has filed all returns due and owing as of this moment (yes you non-filers!), defined as the last 6 years, and is making their current tax period payments. So as I sit here in August 2021, Tax Compliance would nean having 2015 - 2020 filed (if the … (2 comments)
