Re: bankruptcy and federal taxes

As usual, the answer to your question is maybe. Some tax obligations are dischargeable in bankruptcy and some are not. I recommend that you talk to an attorney skilled in both bankruptcy and tax disputes to help resolve your questions since each case is different. A colleague in our office has written a couple articles on this issue. You can find them at http://PhillipsLawFirm.com. Good Luck.
