Will bankruptcy get rid of my tax debt?

Bankruptcy lawyer at William Edward Zurinskas
Bankruptcy can discharge older income tax debt (I assume you are talking about income taxes) . If you filed bankruptcy today, income taxes owed for 2011, 2010, 2009, and 2008 are not dischargeable. Income taxes owed for 2007 might be dischargeable, assuming you filed the return timely on 4-15-08. 2007 or earlier income taxes may be dischargeable. Talk to an experienced bankruptcy attorney or CPA, since there are more several prerequiistes for the discharge of income taxes in bankurptcy.
