What will happen to my co-debtor of my account after I file for bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Tony E. Carballo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carballo Law Offices
Your mother will be left holding the bag for the debt and the creditors can continue to collect from her and sue her if she does not pay. Your bankruptcy filing does not protect your mother nor discharges her obligation to pay the debt. This assumes that you filed a Chapter 7. Chapter 13 is different in that the automatic stay applies the co-debtor although that does not mean the debt would be erased unless you pay it in the Chapter 13 Plan.

This is not a bankruptcy question.  Whether the corporate officers are personally responsible for a California tax depends on state law and has nothing to do with whether the corporation files for bankruptcy.   If there is personal liability, it might be dischargeable in a personal bankruptcy, but it depends on exactly what type of tax it is, how old the tax is, and other factors.

If I file bankruptcy can I include an I.R.S. debt of 8,000 dollars?

Answered by attorney Michael Burton McFarland (Unclaimed Profile)

Yes, you must include a listing of all your debts. The question is whether or not the IRS debt is dischargeable. If it was assessed within the last 3 years, it may not be dischargeable, but if it's more than 3 years old, it probably is. Even if you can't discharge it in a Chapter 7, you could pay it through a Chapter 13 - and assuming no tax lien, you would not pay interest after the filing date of the bankruptcy. Talk to an experienced bankruptcy attorney.
