I look forward to doing a webinar for the Institute of Divorce Financial Analysts entitled, “Unhappy Together: Avoiding Joint Tax Liability by Claiming Duress, or Innocent and Injured Spouse Relief.” Every year, thousands of taxpayers get into trouble by signing tax returns jointly with a spouse.

The rules for reporting may be surprise them as well.
