How old is your tax debt? Federal and state income taxes can be discharged in bankruptcy. In general, the taxes must be for a tax year for which a tax return was due more than three years before your Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing.   You must also have filed the return more than two years before you file your bankruptcy case, and the tax must be assessed more than 240 days before you file your bankruptcy case.  These rules are subject to several important exceptions and qualifications.  Lawrence L. Szabo can help you determine whether your taxes can be discharged by filing for bankruptcy.
