IRS Audit

If an ex-spouse is audited by the IRS, they may be entitled to innocent spouse relief if they were not involved in their spouse’s business in a material way. Even if an ex-spouse does not qualify under the criteria of innocent spouse relief, they still may be eligible to avoid paying taxes on the ex-spouse’s business interests if they were a victim of domestic violence, or if they experienced economic hardship.

Ted worked for the IRS for more than 10 years as a revenue officer, on-the-job instructor, classroom instructor, congressional liaison, and as an assistant district counsel. He is quite familiar with IRS procedure and policy. Ted reviewed offers in compromise, managed collection accounts, investigated complaints made by congressional constituents against the IRS, and represented the IRS in the U.S. Tax Court after a party had been audited.
