Definition IRS - the Internal Revenue Service, the agency collecting federal taxes.
Application in Divorce The Internal Revenue Service can routinely audit a divorced couple’s joint tax return for three years after a divorce. It can -- and does -- claim back taxes owed by the formerly married.

For taxpayers with bills under $50,000, the small case division of the I.R.S. permits a person to argue his or her case without a layer and under relaxed rules of procedure. It’s called the Taxpayer Advocate’s Problem Resolution Program. Start at www.ustaxcourt.gov or 877 777 4778 or 800 829 4059.
