In some cases, IRS tax debts may be dischargeable in bankruptcy for Florida residents. However, the rules for discharging tax debts in bankruptcy can be complex and depend on several factors.
In Chapter 7 bankruptcy, most unsecured debts, including some tax debts, can be discharged. In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you create a repayment plan to pay off your debts for three to five years, including some tax debts.
For example, the tax debt must be income tax debt, and the tax return must have been due at least three years before the bankruptcy filing date. Additionally, the tax return must have been filed at least two years before the bankruptcy filing date, and the IRS must have assessed the tax debt at least 240 days before the bankruptcy filing date.
There are some exceptions to discharging tax debts in bankruptcy, such as if the taxpayer engaged in fraud or willful tax evasion. Additionally, if the IRS has filed a tax lien on the taxpayer's property, the lien may survive bankruptcy and remain attached to the property.
It's important to consult with an experienced bankruptcy attorney in Florida to determine whether your IRS tax debts are dischargeable in bankruptcy. An attorney can help you navigate the complex rules and requirements for discharging tax debts and guide you through bankruptcy to achieve a fresh financial start.
