How many Forms 656 should be filed when the taxpayers are divorced, separated, or/married, but living apart? How many fees must be attached in these situations?
A divorced, separated, or married couple living apart may still file one Form 656 listing their joint liability and pay only one $150 fee, as long as all the taxes owed are joint liabilities. Taxpayers in these situations that opt to file separate offers must pay a $150 application fee for each offer that is submitted for consideration. [Note: This assumes that the taxpayers do not meet one of the exceptions for paying the application fee: 1) OIC filed solely under doubt as to liability, or 2) total monthly income falls at or below income levels based on the DHSS poverty guideline levels.
