Student Loans/Taxes REPLY
Your questions cannot be answered without a good deal more facts. I suggest you visit my web page (address below) and follow the links as it does answer your questions in better detail. Basically, student loans are dischargeable if they have been in repayment for at least 7 years (not counting forebearances or consolidations). Taxes are generally dischargeable if they are over 3 years old and the returns were filed on time. Both of these answers are subject to numerous exceptions, so I advise you to consult with an attorney before doing anything. If you would like I would be most happy to assist. Just give me a call after you have visited my web page. Good Luck, Mark
