I owe the government. Can bankruptcy discharge tax debts?
Yes, some taxes are dischargeable! Income taxes, property taxes and licensing fees to governments may be dischargeable. In order for taxes to be dischargeable, it is important for all returns to have been filed (even if the money due was not paid). However, withholding taxes, sales taxes and payroll taxes, for example, are not dischargeable. At The Sader Law Firm, your attorney will review your situation to help you obtain the relief you need.
