Can I add income tax debts in my bankruptcy?

David Michael Benson
Answered by attorney David Michael Benson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Benson Law Firm
The issue of income tax debts can be a complicated one. Under certain circumstances, income tax debts will not be dischargeable despite being more than three years old. For example, if your return was not filed until less than two years before filing for bankruptcy, the tax is probably not dischargeable. If the IRS or the state assessed the tax less than 240 days before the bankruptcy filing, discharging the obligation will likewise probably fail. And if the return filed was arguably fraudulent, you most assuredly have an uphill battle to discharging the obligation. I would strongly suggest talking to your bankruptcy lawyer before going through the expense of reopening your case to address any additional tax debts.

When Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is filed, can a car be repoed from the impound yard for expired tags?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Steven Jed Alpers (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Steven J. Alpers, A Professional Corporation
You need to send a new question. Was the car repoed from you? Do you have a lien against the car? Any car can be impounded if the tags are more than 60 days late.

Will I have to make regular payments to my creditors in a chapter 7 bankruptcy?

Michael Jay Berger
Answered by attorney Michael Jay Berger
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Michael Jay Berger
One of the great features of Chapter 7 bankruptcy is that you do not have to make regular payments to your creditors in Chapter 7 bankruptcy. In fact, you do not have to make any payments at all to your creditors in Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The thing to look out for is to be sure that all of your assets are exempt. If your assets are exempt, you keep them. If not, they can be taken by the Trustee and sold for the benefit of creditors. By my estimate, 97% of all Chapter 7 cases are no asset cases now. The type of individual bankruptcy that requires you to make regular monthly payments to your creditors, typically for 3 - 5 years, is Chapter 13 bankruptcy. For a discussion of the differences between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 and which one might be right for you, call me.
