Re: taxes
Can taxes be discharged in bankruptcy? It depends. (How's that for a typical lawyer answer?)
See the items in the articles section of my website at www.bjhaynes.com. You will find several articles there with extensive discussions of the applicable standards for determining what taxes are dischargeable and under what circumstances. And please let us know if you need further assistance.
Re: taxes
Personal income taxes that were filed or due (whichever is later) more than 3 years from the date of filing the Bankruptcy petition can usually be discharged. "Trust Fund" or Civil Penalties (for employer withholding or sales and use taxes) are usually not dischargeable.
