Tax Law

Unfortunately, dealing with the IRS and filing for bankruptcy are two processes that in today’s world seem to go hand in hand. In fact, unmanageable tax liability is one common cause of bankruptcy. If you find yourself burdened with a large tax debt, a bankruptcy may or may not afford you the help you really need. The new bankruptcy law provides that tax debts are generally not dischargeable.

Some exceptions to that rule allow you to discharge your tax debt through bankruptcy:

	If three years have passed since the tax returns first came due
	If two years have passed since you filed a return with the taxing authority (such as the IRS, Missouri Department of Revenue, or Kansas Department of Revenue
	No extensions were requested

However, in the majority of cases in which bankruptcy does not relieve someone of his or her tax liability, there are other options that are available. Most people are not aware of their right to deal amicably with the IRS, and make arrangements to pay down tax liability over a period of time.
