223  How many Forms 656 are required from a married couple who owe joint income tax, plus the husband owes an individual year before he was married and a business liability, and the wife owes an individual year with her prior spouse?  How many application fees will be required?

In keeping with the “one fee per entity” rule:

• The husband should file one offer listing the joint income tax, the individual year he owes before the marriage and his business liability, and attach a $150 application fee to the offer.
• The wife should file an offer listing the joint income tax and the individual year that she owes with her prior spouse, and attach a $150 application fee to the offer.

It does not matter that the joint liability will appear on both offers.

[Note: This assumes that the taxpayers do not meet one of the exceptions for paying the application fee: 1) OIC filed solely under doubt as to liability, or 2) total monthly income falls at or below income levels based on the DHSS poverty guideline levels.]
