Bankruptcy
I have approximately $62,000 of combined federal and state taxes that I owe from 2005 from a capital gains tax from selling a property. Can that be included if I file bankruptcy?

Re: Bankruptcy
It is too early for these tax debts to be discharged in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. You would have to wait until at least April 15 2009 before these taxes would become dischargeable in a Chapter 7.
