Bankruptcy and Tax Debt

Bankruptcy does not eliminate all types of tax debt, but it has proven a very effective form of tax debt relief for many. In order for tax debt to be dischargeable in a bankruptcy, the following circumstances must apply:

• The due date for the tax returns must have been at least three years prior to the date you file for bankruptcy
• The tax returns must have been filed at least two years before the date you file for bankruptcy
• The tax you owe must have been assessed by the IRS at least 240 days before the date you file for bankruptcy
• Your tax returns must not be fraudulent in any way

If you face significant tax debt, it is important to be proactive. Waiting will only make the situation worse. Our attorneys are here to help you explore your debt relief in a relaxed, professional environment. Whether you face IRS tax debt or state tax debt in Tennessee or Georgia, we are here to stand up for your rights.
