The good news is that by eliminating the dischargeable debts, you can free up cash flow that can be used to pay down your non-dischargeable debts and secured debts such as your car payments and home mortgage payments.

Debts That Are not Dischargeable

Certain types of debts are not dischargeable under the bankruptcy laws. These include:

  • Student loan debts
  • Some tax debts owed the IRS
  • Child support and alimony
  • Proceeds from an equitable distribution of property after divorce
  • Payroll taxes owed by small business owners

Discharging Tax Debts

Some older IRS tax debts can be discharged entirely. Whether your income tax debts can be discharged depends on the tax year of the tax, when the return was filed, how long ago the tax was assessed, and whether there was an audit and a later tax assessment.

James Schwitalla is an experienced bankruptcy attorney, who can review your situation and advise you regarding the possibility of discharging your tax debts. He has over 18 years experience helping clients obtain debt relief and will work to help you make a new financial beginning.
