What is the name of your state? Ga
My ex-husband was awarded federal and state (Minnesota at the time) tax liabilities in our divorce decree for a tax debt incurred as a result of cashing bonds (purchased by his grandmother in her and his names) after her death and not reporting the income on our joint return in 2000. MY tax return was taken this year to pay toward the federal debt, Minnesota honored the divorce decree. I have been in contact with the IRS since learning of this debt 3 years ago, was told our accounts had been severed and have received my tax returns until this year. What is the likelihood I will qualify for Innocent Spouse Relief? I've complete Federal forms 12510 and 8857 and provided a copy of the decree. Is there anything else I can do?
Thanks
