Injured and Innocent Spouse
When divorces occur, one of the issues you may have to determine whether a client is an injured or innocent spouse. This session defines the difference between injured and innocent spouses and provides practitioners with tools for helping clients who have spouses with significant tax burdens. We will address both the injured spouse allocation and the innocent spouse position for tax relief.

• Identify and differentiate between an injured and an innocent spouse
• Recognize potential areas of conflict of interest
• Distinguish between innocent spouse relief, equitable relief and separation of liability relief
• Develop procedures to document innocent and injured spouse cases
