Re: Back taxes- bankruptcy

If your problems are with the IRS you will need to deal with them. Bankruptcy will generally not discharge past due taxes, so likely the IRS will be after you again. There are some exceptions, but relatively rare.

If you have disputes over fees charged by an attorney contact the Utah State Bar and file a complaint with them. Read the instructions carefully, especially that the complaint must be verified.
