How would I know if bankruptcy is the best option for me?

Stuart M. Nachbar
Answered by attorney Stuart M. Nachbar
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Stuart M. Nachbar, P.C.
You are asking a very broad question, and it takes a great deal of thought and time to give an answer. If you have to much debt and not enough monthly income, then I urge you to get to a bankruptcy specialist.

Unfiled Taxes

Mark J Markus
Answered by attorney Mark J Markus
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Mark J. Markus
If you haven't filed your tax returns in 16 years, chances are pretty good the IRS and your state taxing agency filed what are called "substitute returns" for those years.  If they did that, then with very rare exceptions, the taxes are never dischargeable in a bankruptcy case. You should consult with a tax resolution specialist for advice on how to deal with this.  Filing your returns may be very beneficial to you, particularly if it shows less taxable income than the IRS is showing. Mark Markus has been practicing exclusively bankruptcy law in California since 1991.  He is a Certified Specialist in Bankruptcy Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization,  AV-Rated by martindale.com, and A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau.

Bankruptcy usually helps a person retain their car. BUT you'll still have the make the payments, if your unemployed and have no savings; how would you make the payments? The time to file is after you've got a new job. Then all the debts from your spell of unemployment will be included.
