Is Tax Relief for an Innocent Spouse Possible When Man Claims $5 in Income?
I see tax cases every day where a person has evaded taxes, hidden assets, failed to file a tax return and more. What happens to their spouse (or ex-spouse) if they had nothing to do with the bad tax decisions of their partner? These situations occur and the IRS has set up a provision for people in this situation, provided that they qualify. It is known as Innocent Spouse Relief (or Tax Relief for Innocent Spouses) and if you find yourself in a tax problem that you had no idea about, and believe that you may qualify for Innocent Spouse Tax Relief, contact Tax Resolution Services to help you sort this through. Why face prison and hefty fines and a criminal record if your spouse foolishly thought that he could declare only $5 in income and get away with it?
Reginald Caillouet Jr., 61, of Houma, La., was charged in a one-count bill of information with tax evasion.
According to court records, in April 2006, Caillouet attempted to evade paying approximately $43,487 in income tax by filing a false 2004 tax return that stated he did not have any tax due. Caillouet said his income for 2004 was only $5, when in fact, as Caillouet well knew, his taxable income was at least $117,928.
If convicted, the Louisiana man faces up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $100,000 as well as two years of supervised release following any prison term.
