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. You don’t have to repay the IRS or the state agency anything. 

Currently, 2018 and older tax years are dischargeable if they were timely filed before the April 2019 tax filing deadline.

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 figure out those discharge timelines. Attorney Meiners uses a combination of techniques and resources to determine exactly what can be discharged and when.  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. 

Occasionally the IRS’s computer systems will have incorrect data or codes entered about you. Our staff can get those problems fixed before case filing so that your taxes get discharged. We have the experience and know-how to get your tax problems resolved completely with both the IRS and state tax agencies. Our office also counsels on tax liens, and other tax filing problems.
