Generally, you can eliminate (discharge) unpaid income taxes owed to the IRS or a state taxing agency, like the Arizona Department of Revenue, if the taxes are over three years old. With a Chapter 7 filing and discharge, you don’t have to repay the IRS or the state agency anything.

Currently, 2020 and older tax years are dischargeable if the returns were timely filed.

But filing a tax return late, filing an extension, not filing a return, and other situations will affect that three year discharge timeline. In those circumstances, you may need to wait until a certain time deadline passes before the tax year becomes eligible for discharge.  

Our office has the expertise to analyze and determine your particular discharge timelines.  Don’t put your tax problems in the hands of just anyone, as tax discharge cases can be quite technical and often come down to discharge filing deadlines that are unexpected.   We can also assist with dealing with tax liens.
