IRS Debt Discharge

Many people assume tax debt can never be eliminated in bankruptcy, but certain older income tax debts that meet strict timing and filing requirements can actually be discharged. Getting this right requires a careful review of exactly when the tax was assessed, when the return was filed and whether any of several disqualifying events occurred. 

Mitchell St. Louis, P.A. reviews your tax history in detail to determine whether your tax debt qualifies for discharge, and files bankruptcy strategically when it does. 

What we handle:

• Evaluating whether your tax debt meets the requirements for discharge 
• Reviewing filing and assessment dates to confirm eligibility 
• Preparing and filing bankruptcy to discharge qualifying tax debt 
• Coordinating with other tax resolution options when a debt doesn’t qualify 
• Addressing tax liens that may survive even after a successful discharge 

Why it matters:

Discharging old tax debt through bankruptcy can eliminate a balance that otherwise might never go away, but the eligibility rules are strict and unforgiving of mistakes. A careful review before filing is the only way to know for certain whether your specific tax debt qualifies.
