Can I get my IRS tax debt discharged in a Florida bankruptcy?
In a chapter 7 you may be able to get a full discharge on tax debt if:
1) the debt owed is at least three (3) years old;
2) if you are not suspected of tax evasion;
3) if the IRS has had at least 240 days to inspect the return for which the debt is owed;
4) not debt related to payment penalties for not filing your returns on time or filing them late and
5) the IRS cannot already have a lien against any of your property for that debt you want discharged.
If all 5 factors are present, you may have a chance to have the full debt discharged in a Ch. 7. In a Ch. 13 you may be able to have the remaining debt (that meets the above description) discharged after your final plan payment.
