    Normally not. Old tax debts (more than 5 years old generally) can be included in some cases but current ones can not. At least BK will wipe out the rest of your unsecured debt, leaving more money to pay off the IRS.

    Only if you’re filing Chapter 13 and the IRS will get full payment even if other creditors are being paid less than full debt.

    No…..You can file bankruptcy on just about anything….except the GOV…Uncle sam. The IRS ya know…sad but if they owe you money….and you don’t claim…you won’t ever see it… If you owe them……..Ha….That shit never expires with the IRS

    IGNORE ALL THE POSTS THAT STATE YOU CAN NOT INCLUDE TAXES IN A PERSONAL BANKRUPTCY. THEY ARE ALL WRONG:

    All debts you owe, REPEAT ALL, must be scheduled in a personal bankruptcy or Chapter 13 plan. Make sure you tell your attorney about any tax debts. If you don’t have an attorney, get one: This is not a do it yourself project.

    Taxes that became due and owing less than three years ago (that is tax year 2004 and newer) will not be discharged (forgiven) in a liquidating bankruptcy. Most older ones that most people are likely to owe will be. In a Chapter 13 case, your plan can provide for payment of the tax and interest but not penalty.
