Personal Income Taxes and Bankruptcy
How are personal income taxes dealt with in a personal bankruptcy case. Well it depends on the facts, such as for example, were your income taxes ever filed, when were they filed, are you being accused of filing a fraudulent income tax return, or whether you willfully attempted in any manner to evade or defeat the tax, or is there a tax lien or levy.
