Tax Dischargeability in Michigan Bankruptcy

In the state, as elsewhere, the discharge of tax debts is contingent on several factors:

Type of Tax: Generally, income taxes are eligible for discharge, while certain taxes, like payroll taxes and fraud-related taxes, are typically non-dischargeable.

Age of Tax Debt: To be eligible for discharge, the tax debt must be associated with a tax return due at least three years before filing for bankruptcy. The tax return itself must have been filed at least two years before initiating the bankruptcy petition.

Assessment Date: The tax must have been assessed by the IRS or relevant tax authorities at least 240 days before filing for bankruptcy. [1] The assessment date is a critical factor in determining the dischargeability of the tax debt.

No Fraud or Willful Evasion: Discharge eligibility hinges on the taxpayer not having engaged in fraudulent or willful evasion activities concerning the tax debt. Fraudulent actions can render the tax non-dischargeable.

 

It’s important to note that while income taxes may be dischargeable under specific circumstances, other non-income-related taxes, such as penalties or interest, may not qualify. 

 

Tax dischargeability in Michigan requires attention to both state and federal regulations. Seeking guidance from our experienced bankruptcy attorney is beneficial. We can assess the specifics of your tax situation, guide you on eligibility, and help you make informed decisions tailored to Michigan’s legal landscape throughout the bankruptcy process.

Tax Debt Relief Through Chapter 13 Bankruptcy in Michigan

Chapter 13 bankruptcy provides a structured and manageable approach for individuals in Michigan seeking relief from tax debts. Here’s a detailed overview of the process and implications of obtaining tax debt relief through Chapter 13 bankruptcy in the state:

Repayment
Plan

Unlike Chapter 7, Chapter 13 involves the creation of a court-approved repayment plan. This plan outlines how the debtor will repay creditors, including tax obligations, over a period of three to five years.

Treatment of
Tax Debts

02
Chapter 13 allows individuals to include tax debts in the repayment plan, providing a feasible way to address these obligations without the immediate need for liquidation of assets.

Priority
Treatment

03
Certain tax debts are classified as priority claims and are addressed differently in Chapter 13. These may include recent income tax debts, and the debtor is required to pay these in full through the repayment plan.

Extension of Repayment Period

04
Chapter 13’s extended repayment period offers individuals the opportunity to catch up on overdue taxes, providing a structured and manageable way to address financial obligations over time.

Asset
Retention

05
Chapter 13 allows debtors to retain their assets while repaying creditors. This is particularly beneficial for individuals who wish to protect valuable property, as opposed to the liquidation process in Chapter 7.

Eligibility
Criteria

06
To qualify for Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Michigan, individuals must have a regular source of income and be able to demonstrate their ability to adhere to the proposed repayment plan.
