Bankruptcy And The Discharge Of Tax Liabilities

Not all taxes are dischargeable in bankruptcy. However, there are some circumstances under which tax debt can be discharged. When you visit our office to discuss your tax-related debt matter, we will look at the circumstances of your debt and advise you on ways to proceed in certain matters such as unfiled taxes. Once we have a clear picture, we can determine whether your tax debt can be included in your Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing.

In general, however, tax debt is dischargeable through bankruptcy if you meet the following conditions:

• The unpaid taxes in question must be related to a tax return that is at least three years old.
• The tax debt in question is related to a return filed at least two years ago.
• You have not been charged with or convicted for tax evasion.
• The tax debt in question cannot be part of a fraudulent tax return.
• The IRS must assess your tax debt at least 240 days prior to your filing for bankruptcy.
• Taxes owed for businesses, such as unpaid sales tax or unpaid federal or state unemployment tax (FUTA or SUTA) are not dischargeable in bankruptcy.

Paying Back Taxes Through Bankruptcy

One common way deal with back taxes is through bankruptcy. Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows people to repay tax arrears through the repayment plan while avoiding penalties and interest.
