Mark

I would like to testify as to the qualifications and expertise of my company’s attorney, who has also become my personal counsel. His approach is direct, honest and committed to his client. With a dedicated work ethic, he tenaciously works in the interest of his client with a take-charge attitude that demonstrates his knowledge, honesty, enthusiasm and caring.

Tim

We have been working with John for the last couple of years as a business transaction attorney. He continues to be, and has been, nothing but timely, professional, and knowledgeable in all services rendered for us. He is meticulous and thoughtful in every aspect, and we would highly recommend his services and still continue to build our relationship with him. His alacrity is continually a pleasant surprise.

Matt

After looking at several attorneys to handle my case, I selected John. It was the best choice I could have made. He has given me peace of mind and has handled my case with pure professionalism. I would definitely recommend using John to my friends or family if asked.

John McDuff Offers Joint Tax Liability for Spouses Litigation Services to the Austin, TX Area

Under federal tax law, married couples who file jointly are each jointly and severally liable for any unpaid taxes, penalties and interest. When one spouse is under-reporting income, avoiding taxes, or engages in some other form of malfeasance, the IRS has the right to take action against the other spouse. If the IRS is seeking payment for unpaid taxes that your spouse incurred, you face serious problems.

Innocent Spouse Relief

Depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible for tax relief under what is known as “innocent spouse relief.” Eligibility depends on whether or not it can be shown that you had knowledge of the understated income and whether or not it would be unjust to hold you responsible for the unpaid taxes. To determine whether you are eligible for this relief, it is important to discuss your situation with a knowledgeable tax lawyer.

If the IRS is seeking to collect against you for your spouse’s actions, your best proof may hinge on the testimony of your spouse. If he or she can testify that you did not have any knowledge of the hidden income and unpaid taxes, it can bolster your case.
