Where do I stand?

Six yes-or-no questions. No personal information collected. At the end, you get the guides that match your situation.

  1. Did you file a joint return for the year the IRS is asking about?
  2. Did the IRS keep all or part of a joint refund to pay a debt that only your spouse owed (child support, student loan, back taxes)?
  3. Is the IRS saying the return left out income or claimed a deduction or credit it should not have?
  4. Did the return show a balance due that your spouse was supposed to pay and did not?
  5. Are you divorced, legally separated, widowed, or have you lived apart from your spouse for the last 12 months?
  6. Has the IRS sent you a notice of intent to levy, or kept one of your own refunds to pay the joint debt, more than two years ago?

Answer all 6 questions to see which guides fit.
