Good morning all,
I did a search but couldn't find anything specifically relating to this.
I have a client that got married in 2016. Husband brought significant unpaid tax liability. He filed all of his tax returns but never paid in the tax due. Around $43k worth.
Wife has been filing for innocent spouse but they came to me as first time clients for 2020 tax year. We filed MFS due to other concerns beyond the back tax issue.
I've only done a few OICs in the past but were for single folks or married folks.
I'm not in a community property state but Minnesota is an "equitable property" state. She bought the house, loan is in her name, etc. Do her assets need to be listed on the OIC? Or is the fact that she has filed innocent spouse/mfs every year they've been married allow us to only list his assets?
Thanks
