Worcester Tax Debt and Bankruptcy Attorneys

Eliminating Tax Debt in Your Bankruptcy Proceedings

One of the most common questions our clients ask us during their consultations is whether they can discharge their tax debt in their bankruptcy. The answer to that question fully depends on the age and type of taxes currently owed. At Morrison Rousseau LLP, our bankruptcy lawyers investigate tax debts and discuss such debt in detail with our clients. If you would like to avoid certain tax payments, contact our firm to understand what options are available to you.

Call our Worcester attorneys to discuss your tax debt and bankruptcy options in a free initial consultation. You can reach us at 866.496.0337 or 508.471.3012.

The Elimination of Tax Debt Is Determined on a Case-by-Case Basis

There are no hard-and-fast rules regarding discharging tax debts in bankruptcy, as such a discharge is truly uniquely based on the person or couple in question. However, we can tell you the following:

• Tax debt is not dischargeable if it is less than three years old from the date of your assessment
• An additional legal proceeding will be required to discharge your debts through your bankruptcy proceeding

In truth, if you want to avoid tax payments and even have them completely eliminated, you will likely face an uphill battle in Bankruptcy Court. One of our attorneys will diligently represent you throughout all bankruptcy proceedings and fight aggressively to meet your needs in your bankruptcy.
