ALL your property (all your assets) AND all your liabilities are included...always..you do not pick and chose. You cannot go BK on a speci Save fc debt.

They are given different priorities, some debts may not be discharged (like child support), and some assets (like household goods, work tools), may not be used. Secured debts. (and property taxes are secured to the property being taxed), get first claim to the proceeds from that asset.

Answer

real estate taxes cannot always be discharged in bankruptcy. Determining whether they can be discharged requires some investigation by an attorney who specializes in bankruptcy law. A secured debt for property taxes would be perfected by the recording of a tax lien in the land records.

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.

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.
