Tax Bankruptcy Discharge Rules
The ability to discharge taxes in bankruptcy and select the appropriate chapter depends on four key dates. Additionally, factors such as the presence of tax fraud and the type of tax owed—whether income, payroll, or others—play a significant role in determining whether the taxes can be discharged through bankruptcy.
- 1
The last date on which the return was due for the year of the delinquent tax.
- 2
The date the taxpayer actually filed the applicable return.
- 3
The date the tax in question was assessed by the IRS.
- 4
The vicinity of the previous dates to the bankruptcy case filing date.
Rest assured, when it comes to managing our clients’ bankruptcy cases, we go above and beyond to ensure their hearts and minds are at ease throughout the entire process. We deeply understand the sensitivity and emotional stress that bankruptcy and tax issues can cause, and we are dedicated to providing compassionate, knowledgeable support.
