If you have been contacted by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or the South Carolina Department of Revenue (SCDOR) regarding unpaid taxes, penalties and/or interest for a joint tax return you filed with a current or former spouse and you feel that you should not be responsible for the taxes owed, you may be able to secure Innocent Spouse Relief, which relieves you of liability for those taxes. Innocent Spouse Relief is available for a limited amount of time starting from the time you first began receiving notices from the taxing authorities. Furthermore, you may be due a refund if your past refunds or stimulus checks were applied to a different tax period. There are also time limitations on refunds so do not procrastinate or your rights may be impaired.

If you would like to discuss the process for obtaining Innocent Spouse Relief please contact the South Carolina tax collection attorney at Turner-Vaught Law Firm, LLC today at (843) 839-2580 or contact us online.
