IRS 8857 Forms and Templates

IRS 8857 Forms, also known as Form 8857, are used to request Innocent Spouse Relief from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Innocent Spouse Relief is a provision that allows taxpayers to be relieved of the responsibility for paying taxes, interest, and penalties that are owed by their spouse or former spouse due to errors or fraudulent activity on a jointly filed tax return. The form is used to provide detailed information about the taxpayer's situation and explain why they should be granted relief from the tax liability.
