There is a common misconception, even among many attorneys, that taxes can never be eliminated through a bankruptcy filing.  This belief is incorrect.  Although taxes often have a special status in bankruptcy, income taxes, under the right circumstances, can be discharged.  Bankruptcy also offers other benefits and can offer a global solution to a client’s debt problems, addressing non-tax creditors as well as all taxing authorities.  In many cases, bankruptcy is such an important tool in resolving an outstanding tax liability that understanding the intricacies of bankruptcy to solve a tax problem is essential to a tax professional.  Our attorneys conduct national seminars about solving tax issues in bankruptcy, they teach this area of practice at Universities, and have written numerous articles addressing dischargeability of taxes in bankruptcy.
