Bankruptcy and Taxes
A San Jose bankruptcy attorney comments on whether back taxes are dischargeable in bankruptcy...
Tax season is upon us, this we know. I especially notice in my San Jose bankruptcy law office that around this time people are reminded not only of taxes due, but back taxes due.
In our current economic climate, many people are having difficulty keeping up with all of their debts. While many of us think of bankruptcy as being for debts such as credit cards and auto loans, a significant number of people are also having trouble with back taxes. Forunately for these people, taxes are often dischargable in a bankruptcy.
Whether or not your taxes can be discharged in bankruptcy depends on various factors. When the taxes were due to be filed and when they were actually filed are two of the major factors involved in determining whether or not the taxes can be discharged, though the courts will also look at other aspects of your situation, such as whether or not you intentionally evaded the IRS. To learn more, an experienced bankruptcy attorney can assist you.
