I filed a valid joint return with my spouse and have an installment agreement to pay the taxes. Can I still apply for relief?
A27. The innocent spouse rules may apply in your situation. However, regarding the installment agreement, there are some important considerations: • If you do not continue to make payments while we consider your request for relief, your installment agreement will default and full payment will be due immediately if your request for relief is denied. • For further guidance on refunds, see question and answer 32.
