can you include tax debt in bankruptcy?

Typically, you can’t eliminate income tax liability by filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, but an exception exists. Chapter 7 can wipe out an obligation to pay income tax debt if:

  • the tax is old enough
  • you didn’t commit tax fraud
  • you meet all other rules imposed by your court jurisdiction, and
  • the taxing authority hasn’t put a lien on your property.

can you claim chapter 13 on your taxes

The court will only excuse a tax refund if you need to use it for something necessary and unexpected. Because the bankruptcy income and expense schedules you filed with your case showed that you can afford the Chapter 13 plan on your regular income and still support yourself and your dependents, you can’t excuse your tax refund to buy food, make your car payment, pay your utilities or anything else your regular income normally covers.
