Thinking Outside The Box Law: Can I discharge tax debt in bankruptcy?

This legal article from Thinking Outside The Box Law, Inc. addresses the complex question of whether tax debt can be discharged in bankruptcy, a topic often considered taboo. It highlights that while common belief suggests tax debt is untouchable, specific conditions can allow for its inclusion in bankruptcy proceedings. The author, Jon Dowat, uses Terry's case as an example to illustrate the three crucial timing rules—the tax return being over three years old, filed over two years ago, and any IRS audit closing over 240 days prior—that determine if personal income tax debt is eligible for discharge. The piece emphasizes the importance of consulting both a bankruptcy attorney and a tax adviser for proper planning when dealing with such financial situations.
