Bankruptcy Law - Questions & Answers

Can I discharge taxes?

In most instances, taxes owed to the federal government are not discharged unless they are more than 3 years old. If you have employees and owe income tax on your employees’ earnings, those taxes are never discharged. Interest and penalties on those taxes may be discharged under certain circumstances. Taxes that are not discharged in a Chapter 7 case can often be paid through a Chapter 13 plan.
