Setting up a Bankruptcy Georgia Payment Plan with the IRS or Georgia Department of Revenue for Past Due Taxes

Georgia citizens who are behind on their income taxes often wish to set up bankruptcy Georgia payment plan with the IRS or Georgia Department of Revenue through installment plans or maybe an IRS offer in compromise. An Atlanta tax attorney can assist with the negotiation and payment of past-due tax debt. However, another option for tax debtors can be filing Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 to get rid of tax debt in Atlanta, Georgia.

The general rule of thumb is that tax debt cannot be forgiven in bankruptcy. However, there are exceptions where the tax debt was due more than three years before the bankruptcy case is filed and the tax return was timely filed. For example:

Date bankruptcy expected to be filed: June 1, 2011.
Date 2007 income taxes due: April 15, 2008.
Date 2007 tax return filed: February 1, 2008.
Time passed between April 15, 2008 and June 1, 2011: 3 years and 2 months.
Dischargeable in bankruptcy: Yes.

Date bankruptcy expected to be filed: June 1, 2010.
Date 2007 income taxes due: April 15, 2008.
Date 2007 tax return filed: February 1, 2008 Time passed between April 15, 2008 and June 1, 2010: 2 years and 2 months.
Dischargeable in bankruptcy: No.

I came to Mr. Clapp by referral with a complicated case involving both personal and business debts that were out of control. Mr. Clapp evaluated the situation and gave me options that I was not even aware of. He knows his stuff, executed flawlessly, and I have been able to start over. I highly recommend Charles Clapp if you have debt or bankruptcy issues. Listen to his advice, he knows his stuff. I consulted with several other bankruptcy attorneys prior to retaining Mr. Clapp, and they did not have the same breadth of knowledge that Mr. Clapp brought to my case.
