Discharging Taxes in Bankruptcy Many taxpayers, including enrolled agents, accountants and other taxpayer representatives are unaware that under certain circumstances you can discharge income taxes and certain payroll taxes in bankruptcy. Certain steps should be taken to ensure that all available collection defense tactics are utilized in order to successfully resolve the tax problem. Determining whether your tax liabilities are dischargeable in bankruptcy is a powerful defense measure (which I call the “Silver Bullet of Tax Defense”) and is a critical step in preparing a plan to resolve your tax debt. For example, the availability of bankruptcy is a viable threat during negotiations of an Offer in Compromise with the IRS. The filing of an Offer in Compromise and/or Bankruptcy affects the availability of each other. It is quite common for a taxpayer to retain this law firm after an inappropriate or premature bankruptcy petition has been filed. Therefore, it is critical that you obtain a written bankruptcy dischargeable opinion letter from a qualified tax attorney or bankruptcy attorney.
