Yes you can file bankruptcy. Whether or not it is dischargeable is another matter. In a Chapter 13, it could be included in your repayment plan. Not sure how it works in a Ch 7.

What about your car or airplane can you keep if filing bankruptcy for IRS debt?
You can't file bankruptcy "for IRS debt." You have to list all your debts and assets, and you can keep what you can exempt under state or federal laws. If you have little or no equity in an asset, you should have no problem.
Does the IRS get involved in bankruptcy?
If federal income or other taxes are listed as debts to be discharged, the IRS may send a representative to the 341 meeting to question the debtor about the listings, or if the debtor does not list debts owed to the IRS, a representative may be sent o ask the debtor about the omissions. Tax debts must be listed even if the debtor has a payment agreement with the IRS. The bankruptcy court will send a notice of the bankruptcy filing to the IRS and state DOR even if the debtor has not listed any debt owed to them.
Can you go bankrupt in IRS?
The IRS does not like its agents to file for bankruptcy, so I understand. If you're asking if you can discharge taxes owed to the IRS, the answer is, maybe. If the tax is income or certain property taxes, and if the income tax owed was determined more than 3 years prior to filing - and if you were not concealing income - those taxes can be discharged. You should really consult a bankruptcy lawyer who knows about taxes.

Can you file bankruptcy when you debt is federal and state income taxes?
You can file bankruptcy at any time you like, but I will tell you that bankruptcy court does not have the authority to drop the taxes. The IRS or State may allow a payment plan instead of allowing them to begin confiscating property. You will still have to pay the taxes due and it may be to your benefit to work out a payment plan directly with tax department and not have to pay the legal and court fees involved with the bankruptcy.
Do you have to file a 1099c for credit card debt that was discharged in chapter 7 bankruptcy?
The debtor does not "file" a 1099C. The debtor may receive a 1099C from the creditor which also sends it to the IRS. The discharge of the debt in bankruptcy nullifies the 1099C. There is a form or a part of the 1040 set for disclosing this information to the IRS.

How do you write a motion to dismiss an old IRS tax debt and include it on my bankruptcy?
If there is a judgment in a court for the IRS debt, you do not need to file a motion to include it in your bankruptcy. If the tax due was determined more than 3 years before the filing date, you include it in your Schedule F. If you have already filed your bankruptcy documents, you need to file a motion to amend Schedule F with the bankruptcy court. If the case has been closed, you will need to reopen the case, paying the filing fee, and then your motion to add the debt.

After a period of years when a tax debt cannot be collected because of banruptcy or lack of funds will the IRS discharge the debt?
The IRS has ten years from the date the tax was originally assessed to collect the tax debt. After this time has passed, the statute of limitations will pass and any remaining taxes owed will go away. There are several things which can pause or "toll" the running of this statute. If you file an Offer in Compromise, file certain Appeals, file a suit against the IRS, or enter into bankruptcy, for example, the statute of limitations stops running for the duration that you are going through those proceedings. In general, if you do anything that stops the IRS from collecting the taxes the statute of limitations will be tolled during that period.

If you do not owe the IRS will your refund been taken if you file bankruptcy?
It depends on the courts. I had a friend who went through bankruptcy and was owed a refund from the IRS. The trustee for the bankruptcy ordered her to turn over the refund to the courts to be paid out to creditors. So it could happen, but they cannot actually intercept or offset your refund. They will just order you to pay it to the trustee.
Do you have to file a 1099 c if you filed bankruptcy?
It MUST be issued. The tax effect may change because of the BK, but that is for the one receiving it to prove to the IRS...it is not anything involving the lender.

If a tax debt is owed to the IRS can filing bankruptcy settle this debt and allow you to start over?
Yes you can start over but this does have an extreme barring on your credit. You can include the years prior to three years from the tax year you owed the IRS. However any years owing after the fact, you will be responsible for. Actually, you can under certain circumstances -- mainly if enough time has gone by (except in cases involving fraud): As a result of Bankruptcy Code Sections 523 and 527, the following IRS tax is generally dischargeable: Tax penalties for non-filing, tax penalties for late payment, tax penalties for late deposit, and tax penalties for late estimated payments; and Income tax, excise tax, and gift tax which is over three years old, has been filed at least two years prior to the bankruptcy petition, and/or has been assessed as an IRS tax audit deficiency for at least 240 days. The above poster is right. I was recently discharged from a bankruptcy. When I filed for bankruptcy I owed money to the IRS. My attorney said as long as it had been THREE YEARS from the tax year that you owed the IRS it can be included in a bankruptcy.
