Can filing for bankruptcy eliminate tax debt as well?

Answered by attorney Theodore L. Araujo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Theodore Lyons Araujo
Income Taxes are (possibly) dischargeable in bankruptcy if they are for taxes that became due for tax years greater than three (3) years ago; the tax return was filed at least two (20 years ago; the taxes were "assessed at least 240 days ago, and there was no indication that there was fraud or evasion of taxes. Having stated the broad general rules, let me note that there are many, many, many ways that taxes can become non-dischargeable in the event certain things happened or did not happen since the tax liability was assessed. This is not something to attempt on your own, nor should an inexperienced Bankruptcy attorney rely on this broad outline. See a Bankruptcy attorney with sufficient experience to determine if any of the tax liability is dischargeable.

Should I improve my chapter 7 property that hasn't been reaffirmed?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Ronald K. Nims
First, you don't have a choice; all debts are included in a bankruptcy. It's not pick and chose like a restaurant menu. Second, if your house is worth more than the amount of the mortgage, selling would be no problem.

When will I be able to get a property under my name if I filed chapter 7 bankruptcy?

You are free to own property right after you file your Chapter 7 case. If you are going to buy real estate, it usually takes about 2 years after your discharge before you will become eligible for a mortgage.
