Eliminate Taxes in Chapter 7Certain taxes can be eliminated entirely in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Timing is critical. Determining dischargeability of taxes is a complicated matter, but at the risk of oversimplification one can say -- in general -- that income taxes more than three years old are dischargeable if the tax return was filed at least three years ago (if filed late) or if the return was filed early or on time and three years has elapsed since April 15th of the year the tax return was due. Taxes for wage withholding, sales taxes, and other taxes besides income taxes are not dischargeable. Even if your taxes are not subject to discharge in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, a Chapter 13 bankruptcy can make them manageable by eliminating future penalties and reducing future interest.
