Client owes $68.000 from three ago on MFJ return. Ex husband has taken responsibility for the debt but has accumulated another $100.000 debt to IRS since divorce.

My client is getting collection letters for original debt. Best approach to getting

her out of situation.

Taxpayers are jointly and severally liable on a joint tax return. The only relief from that liability is found through the innocent spouse determination.
