c. The taxpayer had no knowledge of the deficiency

To be eligible for Innocent Spouse relief, the taxpayers must meet the following criteria:

They must have filed a joint return with an erroneous understatement of tax responsibility relating directly to their spouse.
They must have had no knowledge of the error.
Once the error has been identified, the IRS must agree that it is fair to relieve the taxpayer of the tax in question.
The taxpayer must apply for relief within two years of the IRS initiating collection.
