From the supplier: The innocent spouse provisions of IRC 6013(e) have been liberalized by recent decisions of the Eighth and Ninth Circuit courts to cover knowledge of deductions whereas previous standards applied to knowledge of omissions. Spouses may use the innocent spouse defense if they are unaware of omissions on joint returns, have no reasonable means of knowing about the omission and do not benefit from it. In an erroneous deduction, spouses may be aware of the transaction and still be protected if they are unaware of the deduction. Proof of lack of knowledge or benefit, or filing a separate return are the best defenses.
