Sorry - this is the correct post. I guess I hit a wrong button and posted the one with typos also....
Hi everyone,
I filed 13 in 2012 and unfortunately at the end of 2013 I had a 3000 tax bill due. I couldn't afford to pay it all at once so I spoke to the insolvency department at the IRS and to the liason between the IRS and
the trustee from the IRS. I was told they would set up a payment installment agreement. I've been paying my payments like clockwork for the past year.
I called yesterday to ask a general question and was told, by the way you're installment agreement has been suspended for the duration of time you're in Chapter 13. I was told by 2 reps (yesterday and today) that it was ruled that the IRS cannot have installment agreements with those in Chapter 7 or 13 as it could be perceived as violation of the automatic stay. I was surprised. I was told i could make voluntary payments if i like (which i will do) until my 13 is complete. I asked what happens if I don't make voluntary payments. Response nothing - interest accumulates. I would never do that.
U was if the understanding (and per the words of the IRS when I set up the installment agreement) that post petition tax was my responsibility and not part of the BK. As such an installment agreement was ok.
Does anyone know why this would be changed??
Per both reps, this is a ruling that came down a couple weeks ago and they are now working to contact those of us in 13''s who set up post petition installment agreements.
I should e getting a letter shortly that explains the situation and ells how to make voluntary payments (if I choose to). I said I received my April 30 invoice for payment just a couple days ago, The response was until my bk is complete, I won't be seeing another one.
Does anyone know anything about this or have this happen recently?
