Thank you for your time,

In 2013 My wife and I separated but didn’t divorce so I could stay on her insurance. We both each purchased a home, her in Riverside county and me in Los Angeles county. We got back together about 2 years later 2015, I moved in with her and converted mine into...

We plan to file on Monday. Our lawyer has said that we are likely to lose part of our tax refund in April. The less cash we have in our bank accounts now, the more of our future tax refund we can exempt.

I am in Michigan. I have student loans, which are in default, from years ago. I haven't worked in a few years. This year I am working but not making much.

Hi there,

I have so many questions about my bankruptcy but one that is really pressing is the fact that I chose the least patient attorney because he originally told me at our first meeting that he knew how to discharge taxes in bankruptcy even though I needed to tell him what all of...

I had my bankruptcy discharged in 2010 they made me file my back (2008 and 2009) taxes but let me keep the money when I filed but didn't make me file my state taxes. I finally have gotten around to filling at it looks like I am going to get back about $3,000. Do I need to inform the court?

In my Chapter 13 the State of Oregon failed to claim all the priority non-dischargable taxes that I was liable to pay. Now that I have completed Chapter 13, they have sent a demand for payment within 30 days of the balance. Is this legal? It's not clear to me how the State can claim 60% during bankruptcy...

Hello,
We received a discharge on our no asset Chapter 7 case in September. The case is also closed. In the BK, we included payroll taxes for our LLC and our Corp (we had 2 businesses that went under). The total owed is probably like $4k between the two, but they've added penalties and fees...

The failures of federal, state and local officials of both major parties, over many years, have primed a ticking bankruptcy bomb for America that will explode the American Dream if we don’t disarm it. But it is not too late to reverse course and avert the coming bankruptcy...

We are currently on a 100% payback plan on our Chapter 13 and we are going to have to pay the IRS a little over $2500. We are considering taking some money from our IRA in order to pay these taxes since we can not incur any more debt. Will we have to have our attorney petition the court or can we just...

I filed a Chapter 7 personal bankruptcy at the beginning of last year which was discharged in the spring of last year. Before the discharge was finalized the California EDD filed an adversary proceeding against me for unemployment insurance taxes which were due from a company I was an executive officer...

I am strongly considering filing for Ch. 7 bankrupcy soon. I do not plan on re-affirming on my mortgage, but am going to remain current and continue to live there. I have a few questions.

1) Will my mortgage company send me a 1098 form showing the interest paid during the year and...

If you know you will be owing taxes in 2011 but have not done them yet, would you check the "Taxes and other debts" Box and estimate the amount owed?
I know I will be owing which is why I am in no hurry to do them...

Any feedback would be much appreciated
