Bankruptcy And The Discharge Of Tax Liabilities

Generally, tax liabilities are not 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 extent of your debt and advise you on clearing up any 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, but we can help you develop a plan for dealing with them.

How We Can Help You Discharge Your Taxes

Attorney Miller discusses bankruptcy and tax discharge in the video, as well as your options if you are unable to do any of those things. In order to get the IRS and the State of Wisconsin off your back, he talks about the possibility of getting uncollectible status.

Reducing Or Eliminating Tax Penalties

Often, unpaid taxes can lead to heavy penalties by the IRS. These penalties may comprise a significant portion of your owed amount. At Miller & Miller Law, LLC, we can work with you to help you reduce, if not eliminate, any penalties associated with unfiled or unpaid taxes.

Paying Back Taxes Through Bankruptcy

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