Tax Debt
It is
nearly impossible to get rid of income taxes unless you die or in
some cases, file a bankruptcy. Most people don’t realize that we can
get rid of a lot of income taxes through a Chapter 7 bankruptcy and get
you into a fixed monthly payment for your tax debt in a Chapter 13
bankruptcy.
Personal income taxes
may be dischargeable if they are:
-
At
least three years old;
You
filed the tax returns for the years that you owe at least two years
prior to filing bankruptcy;
The
taxes were assessed at least 240 days prior to filing
- And -
- There are no events that tolled
the time periods above (tolling events include an offer in
compromise, incarceration, etc.)
