San Diego Bankruptcy & Tax Issues Lawyers

Despite new bankruptcy rules enacted in 2005, people can still discharge tax debt under Chapter 7 or reorganize a payment plan under Chapter 13. Only income tax can be discharged through bankruptcy, and the taxpayer must be an individual. Generally, older taxes can be discharged while newer ones are considered to have priority and are nondischargeable. If bankruptcy is filed, there is an automatic stay placed on the IRS at the moment of filing.

However, bankruptcy tax relief is very complicated and there are many requirements that must be met. The bankruptcy attorneys at Chang & Diamond will help you every step of the way. We will review and interpret IRS tax transcripts for you and do everything we can to get the financial relief you deserve.

Some of the requirements for bankruptcy income tax relief include:

• The tax returns were filed on time or it has been two years since the tax returns were filed
• More than three years have passed since the returns were last due, including extensions
• There were no attempts to evade the tax or fraudulent actions
• Taxes were assessed at least 240 days before filing for bankruptcy
