Innocent Spouse Defense

So a while back you filed a joint tax return with your spouse or former spouse and now the IRS is saying there was a deficiency in your payment. They are aggressively coming after both you and you need an aggressive attorney to represent you. You feel that you are unjustly being asked for this money and you may be right. So don't let the IRS get any more of your hard-earned money, money that they don't have the right to collect.

Contact Attorney Kenneth Carp Lt. Col., USAF (ret.) understands that the IRS can be an intimidating agency to deal with under the best of circumstances. With more than 20 years of legal experience, our St. Louis-based firm strives to provide detailed guidance to clients in Missouri and Illinois. Contact us at 888-342-3049 to schedule a free consultation to discuss your specific concerns and learn how we can be of assistance.

The innocent spouse doctrine allows you to claim that you are not liable for the deficiency in any way. The requirements for qualifying as an innocent spouse are as follows:

• You filed a joint return with your spouse or former spouse which reported an understatement of tax as a result of erroneous items of your spouse or former spouse;
• You did not know, or have any reason to know, that there was an understatement of tax due to the erroneous items at the time the taxes were filed; and
• It would be unfair to hold you liable for the understatement of tax based on the circumstances.

Our lawyers are dedicated to providing personalized support to every client we represent. Operating under that philosophy, we conduct a careful examination of your situation and your goals before offering the tailored advice you need to find resolutions. This personalized representation often allows us to find favorable resolutions.
