description This paper examines the decision criteria used by federal courts to adjudicate equitable innocent-spouse relief, when such relief has previously been denied by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Empirical logit/probit regression is used, rather than traditional legal analysis. Specifically, we determine which of the equitable-relief criteria detailed in the innocent-spouse rules did affect judicial decisions during our sample period. We also determine the relative importance of the factors. Using these data, taxpayers and their advisors can better decide whether to pursue further litigation, and how best to tailor the pertinent arguments.
