Dear Mark,

Chapter 13 bankruptcy is like a personal re-organization. You get to reduce some of your debts and set up payment plans for the rest.

The Court can decide what should and should not be discharged.

Typically, secured debt will not be discharged.

So if IRS or the state has filed liens against you, those debts will have priority over your unsecured debt. The Judge and the IRS and State will insist on a payment plan.

If the tax debt is unsecured, they get to stand in line with the rest of your creditors.

And your attorney can negotiate with the creditors. Then he/she can bring the plan to the Court to approve.

Sometimes, you can get some or all your tax debt discharged in Chapter 13. However, if you have assets or a steady stream of income don’t count on it.

You’ll need to push on to Chapter 7, total liquidation to get your tax debts discharged.

Incidentally, there are some tax debts and penalties that cannot be discharged.

And remember, you can find answers to all kinds of questions about tax bankruptcy, and other tax issues, free.
