20. Do I qualify for Innocent or Injured Spouse status?
Maine Revenue Services acknowledges Innocent and Injured Spouse Claims (see federal Form 8379 or Form 8857 and related instructions) for purposes of individual income tax only. The spouse is not required to request federal relief prior to requesting state relief. For more information call the Compliance Division of Maine Revenue Services at (207) 624-9595 or e-mail compliance.tax@maine.gov. If you believe that your refund may be set off to pay a debt other than an income tax debt, you must contact the other tax department or agency directly to request injured spouse relief.
