Massachusetts Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Lawyers
There are a wide variety of debts that may be discharged in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. One of these types of debts is a tax debt. Past due income taxes, both state and federal, may be discharged as part of a bankruptcy. However, certain criteria must be met in order for them to be officially dischargeable.
At the bankruptcy law firm of Alford & Bertrand, LLC, our Boston lawyers are able to advise clients on which of their debts may be discharged under Chapter 7. We have years of experience handling all types of debt issues, including dealing with the discharge of unsecured and secured debts.

Resulting From a Filing
When your tax debt has resulted from your income tax filing, you are not able to have the debt discharged until three years have passed since the date on which the tax return for that year was due.
Resulting From an Assessment
If the taxes that are to be paid are the result of an assessment rather than an income tax filing, the tax debt only needs to be 240 days old, and conform to the other filing date requirements, in order for you to seek their dismissal under Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
