IRS Tax Laws in Texas
Bankruptcy laws in the state of Texas enable you to wipe out back taxes, as well as most of your other debts. Regardless of whether you file under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 of the federal statutes, you can receive quick and lasting relief from your unpaid taxes.
Chapter 7 allows you to eliminate your unsecured obligations, including qualifying unpaid tax debt. If you decide that Chapter 13 is the better choice for your family, you can restructure your debts — tax liabilities included — into a 3-to-5-year payment plan. People who choose this route generally end up paying about 10% of what they owe.
No matter which type of bankruptcy works best for your situation, DebtStoppers will guide you through every step of the process. We can help your family move past IRS debts and start pursuing a better life.
Bankruptcy Forms and IRS Liens
Filing for bankruptcy in Texas requires you to fill out and file legal forms with the district court closest to you. Which documents you will need to submit depends on the type you choose to file. Your DebtStoppers lawyer will help you gather the data you need to include in the forms and ensure they are correctly filled out.
Remember though, that while bankruptcy can eliminate your back taxes, pre-existing tax liens will not be eliminated. This means that while discharging your back taxes will keep the IRS from garnishing your paycheck or going after your assets, you’ll still be responsible for any liens that were recorded before you filed. This means that you can’t sell the property until the lien is paid.
Therefore, if you’re falling behind on tax obligations, make sure you file your petition before the IRS can record a lien against any of your property.
