Can I file chapter 13 bankruptcy with my daughter for a car I cosigned for her that she let go back and not affect my husband?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Asaph Abrams
You cannot file bankruptcy with a family member (or anyone else) except for your spouse. You can file with or without your spouse, but regardless, the non-filing spouse's income and assets are factored into the filing spouse's bankruptcy.

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.
