ANSWERS TO YOUR BANKRUPTCY CONCERNS
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common personal tax debt questions, including IRS collection actions, payment options, tax relief programs, and how an attorney can help resolve your tax debt.
Can income tax debt be wiped out in bankruptcy?
Yes, when the balance is old enough and the return was filed on time or at least 2 years before the case. Newer taxes, payroll taxes, and balances tied to fraud are treated as priority debt instead and must be paid.
What is the 3-2-240 rule for discharging taxes?
Three timing tests must all pass. The return was due 3 or more years ago, filed 2 or more years ago, and the tax assessed 240 or more days ago. John E. Pytte P.C. verifies each date for Savannah, GA clients.
Does bankruptcy stop an IRS wage garnishment or bank levy?
Both stop. The automatic stay applies to the IRS and to state revenue agencies just as it does to any creditor. Active garnishments end, and a frozen account can often be released once the case number reaches the right desk.
What happens to a tax lien if my tax debt is discharged?
Personal liability ends but a recorded lien can stay attached to property you owned when it was filed. It generally cannot reach anything acquired afterward, which limits the damage over time. Valuing the property shows how much the lien truly covers.
Are payroll taxes and trust fund taxes dischargeable?
No. Amounts withheld from employee wages are held in trust for the government and survive every chapter. They can still be paid through a Chapter 13 plan, which stops collection entirely while the balance clears on a schedule you can meet.
Do I still have to file tax returns while my case is open?
Absolutely, and missing one is a fast route to dismissal in Chapter 13. The trustee receives copies and the court expects them on time. Refunds during a plan term are sometimes turned over as additional payments to creditors.
Can Chapter 13 be used to pay recent tax debt over time?
Often it is the better route. Priority taxes get paid in full across the plan term without additional penalties, while collection stops entirely. John E. Pytte P.C. builds these plans for clients in Savannah, GA and Hinesville, GA.
What happens to my tax refund when I file for bankruptcy?
A refund you have not received yet counts as an asset on the filing date. Part or all of it may be protected by the wildcard exemption. Adjusting withholding before filing sometimes avoids the question in the first place.
Months From Now, This Chapter Can Simply Be Over
There is a specific date, usually somewhere between 4 and 6 months from the day a petition is filed, when the credit card balances, the medical bills, and the old personal loans stop being yours. Not reduced. Not negotiated. Gone, by federal court order. Reaching that date cleanly depends on work done before filing: honest valuations, exemptions matched to your property, and a means test that holds. John E. Pytte P.C. has handled Chapter 7 filings for Savannah, GA and Hinesville, GA households for 30 years.
