Taxes sometimes appear as insurmountable debt. Some people go so far as to mistakenly believe that tax debt cannot be discharged in a bankruptcy. Actually there is much that can be accomplished in getting control over past due taxes through a bankruptcy proceeding.

Given the right circumstances regarding age and assessment (among others), taxes can indeed be discharged in a Chapter 7. Where taxes cannot be discharged in a Chapter 7, they can be managed by consolidating payments over the course of a three- or five-year repayment plan in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. The Chapter 13 will protect you from the taxing authorities garnishing wages, levying against bank accounts and recording tax liens.
