LOS ANGELES, CA, July 16, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Knowing that you have unpaid back taxes to the State or IRS is awful enough but imagine if it's your spouse who owes the money and you've gotten wrapped in just because your married!!
This is the nightmare that Geraldine (Lake Forest, CA) found herself in when she came to the offices of Blue Tax. Geraldine had a huge joint balance of roughly $52,000 with the State, which was caused by an audit for under-reported income by her husband from the IRS. Both she and her husband also received a wage garnishment.
The challenge for Blue Tax would be to protect Geraldine from any collection action while attempting to extricate her from her husband's tax troubles.
Blue Tax got to work right away and was able to get the wage garnishment released for Geraldine. They then applied to have an agent for the Innocent Spouse Department assigned to Geraldine's case. Blue Tax believed that Geraldine had a good chance of getting the innocent spouse approved based on her reason that she did not know about the under-reported income. After a few months of negotiations, the IRS approved the innocent spouse claim and removed the taxes due from her for that year. The State will likely do the same after the IRS removed the under-reported income from Geraldine's file.
In conclusion, Blue Tax was able get the innocent spouse claim approved and removed the under reported income liability from Geraldine's account, saving Geraldine a lot of stress and likely also saving her marriage.
