Colorado Springs: Do I Have to Pay My Deceased Spouse's Overdue Self-employment Tax?
For any industry where you or your spouse are self-employed, the self-employment tax is a common issue. This can especially be true when your spouse is a truck driver. Often times a low cost tax preparer is used to save money. Sadly, though this often results in a poorly prepared tax return missing countless deductions. Sometimes I have encountered cases where a married filing joint tax return was electronically filed without one spouse's consent. There was a significant amount of self-employment tax and income tax due. The non-consenting spouse may not have filed jointly if she had known the amount due on the tax return. Then the spouse who filed the tax return suddenly and unexpectedly dies. Leaving the surviving spouse with a large tax bill. Is the surviving spouse required to pay the unpaid taxes?
Under Internal Revenue Code Section 6015 (b), the surviving spouse may qualify for Innocent Spouse Relief after consideration of the the facts and circumstances, Marcelino Dodge, EA, CTRC has helped taxpayers obtain this relief after a thorough and careful review of their complete situation.
