Bankruptcy and Taxes: Pitfalls for the Bankruptcy Practitioner
This program highlights some of the more nuanced aspects of taxes in the various bankruptcy proceedings. Whereas many bankruptcy-tax courses discuss the basic requirements for tax discharge and priority of payment of certain tax debts in reorganization cases, this course presumes attendees have a basic understanding of tax law in the realm of bankruptcy.
Topics to be discussed include:
- Issues with tax liens: how secured portions of tax debts are valued in chapter 13 cases, liens that survive bankruptcy discharge, inability of unperfected tax liens to attach to after-acquired property, post-discharge.
- A primer on proper review of tax transcripts to determine dischargeability and red flags to look out for.
- Issues with late-filed tax returns, whether before or after an assessment or substitute for return (SFR) is made by the IRS or state tax authority:
a. How recent and older case law have determined dischargeability based on a latefiled return after an assessment or SFR has been made for any particular tax year;
b. How IRS handles late-filed returns where no assessment or SFR has been made;
c. Whether a tax debt for a tax year for which no return was filed or where a return was filed after a SFR can ever be discharged.
- Dischargeability of non-income taxes including sales tax, self-employment tax, and employer-side payroll taxes.
- Tax collectability, statutes of limitations for collection, payment plans, non-collectible status, offers in compromise (OIC), and other alternatives to resolving tax debt in the event bankruptcy is not feasible or an effective means to resolve tax debt.
