Can you go bakyrupp if you owe state and federal tax leins.

Hello I will be the attorney assisting you today. Please note this site is for general information for educational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice, nor does it establish an attorney-client relationship. You may receive an offer from the site for a phone call that I have no control over being offered to you. This is an optional paid service and another expert would call you when available as I do not participate in calls as an actively practicing attorney.

This is tough to answer broadly without going over your finances. You can discharge (wipe out) debts for federal income taxes in Chapter 7 bankruptcy only if all of the following conditions are true:

• The taxes are income taxes. Taxes other than income, such as payroll taxes or fraud penalties, can never be eliminated in bankruptcy.
• You did not commit fraud or willful evasion. If you filed a fraudulent tax return or otherwise willfully attempted to evade paying taxes, such as using a false Social Security number on your tax return, bankruptcy can't help.
• The debt is at least three years old. To eliminate a tax debt, the tax return must have been originally due at least three years before you filed for bankruptcy.
• You filed a tax return. You must have filed a tax return for the debt you wish to discharge at least two years before filing for bankruptcy. (In most courts, if you file a late return (meaning your extensions have expired and the IRS filed a substitute return on your behalf), you have not filed a "return" and cannot discharge the tax. In some courts, you can discharge tax debt that is the subject of a late return as long as you meet the other criteria.)
• You pass the "240-day rule." The income tax debt must have been assessed by the IRS at least 240 days before you file your bankruptcy petition, or must not have been assessed yet. (This time limit may be extended if the IRS suspended collection activity because of an offer in compromise or a previous bankruptcy filing.)

If your taxes qualify for discharge in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case, your victory may be bittersweet. This is because bankruptcy will not wipe out prior recorded tax liens. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy will wipe out your personal obligation to pay the debt, and prevent the IRS from going after your bank account or wages, but if the IRS recorded a tax lien on your property before you file for bankruptcy, the lien will remain on the property. In effect, this means you'll have to pay off the tax lien in order to sell the property.

I would suggest sitting down with a bankruptcy lawyer in your city to go over your exact facts and finances as we cannot do that here. You can go on a lawyer review site like Avvo and find a highly rated bankruptcy lawyer in your city.

Please let me know if you have any questions about my reply or in general. I'll be glad to answer them.
If I've answered your question fully I would greatly appreciate a 3-5 star (hopefully 5) rating at the top right of this chat box ★★★★★ and hit "Submit." See http://ww2.justanswer.com/sites/default/files/help/Untitled.gif how to rate.
If the star rating does not show, please reply "5 stars" (however many you are leaving from 3-5) or "thank you" so I can submit it manually to the site for credit.
That is the only way I get paid by the site for my time replying to the inquiry as I am a practicing licensed attorney and not an employee of this website. It costs you nothing to give a rating.
