HOBOKEN NEW JERSEY HUDSON COUNTY DIVORCE LAWYER TAX LIABILITIES

When a married couple files jointly, both spouses typically are responsible for taxes, interest or penalties. In some cases, though, one spouse may be relieved from the debt. See the IRS's new Form 8857, which the agency says will "help reduce follow-up questions." The new form "will ask more questions initially, but collecting critical information early in the process will mean faster processing." The IRS estimates the new design will eliminate an estimated 30,000 follow-up letters each year.    Internal Revenue Service, www.irs.com; July 5, 2007
