Most taxes are not discharged in bankruptcy.
If the amount of your tax liabilities is not clear, the bankruptcy court cam decide how much you owe; you need not go to tax court for that.
Yes.
The town will take possession of the property for delinquent taxes, file a petition in court to acquire title and then the town will sell the property.
Usually not. Your bankruptcy petition will ask you for information on whether or not you received a tax refund for the year prior, but they don't usually track you afterwards to find out if you got a refund after your discharge. You are applying for a clean financial slate, and taking away your refund would negate that purpose. If in doubt, check with your bankruptcy attorney for more clarification.
The State of Michigan can only offset your federal refund, if they say the overpayment was due to misrepensentation or fraud. In this case you will need to contact a Bankruptcy Lawyer to help.
Your best option is to probably take a simple financial class online to teach you how to prepare taxes or take a financial class in person that can teach you how to prepare taxes.
If they were ordered by the court (i.e.: child support - back taxes - etc) you must still honor them, bankruptcy will not do away with court ordered liens. . Liens placed by private persons or businesses will have to take their place in your long line of creditors. As soon as you file, you take the papers from the bankruptcy court showing that you filed to your employer and the garnishment will stop. There are some exceptions to this.
"Take your taxes"? Do you really mean "take your tax refunds, if there are any"?
Your bankruptcy lawyer.
Yes.
It depends on a number of circumstances; often it isn't possible to discharge back taxes in bankruptcy, but it is in some cases if the back taxes are over 3 years old.
It depends on the specific circumstances of your bankruptcy case and the laws in your jurisdiction. In some cases, lawsuit settlements may be considered part of the bankruptcy estate and subject to distribution to creditors. It's best to consult with a bankruptcy attorney for guidance tailored to your situation.
Yes unless it is Earned Income Credit.
Yes you can sale your home but the bankruptcy court will take the proceeds from the sale and disburse them to your creditors that you owe. No, everything except your selected exempt property belongs to the bankruptcy estate, as of the moment you file, and it can only be sold by the bankruptcy trustee, with permission of the court, to satisfy your debts in an orderly fashion.
No. Only the government can take your taxes, but a debt collector can get a court judgment against you and take your pay check.
Absolutely - the camper is an 'asset' which would be sold to offset your debt.
No, the court discharge of the debt means it no longer exists! The filing of the bankruptcy prohibited every creditor from taking any action to collect (other than those required to the bankruptcy court). Of course, you had to handle your BK properly, and list all your creditors and all your assets, etc....if not you have lied to the court and they don't look at that too well.
All assets that are worth something can be liquidated (sold or auctioned to pay outstanding debts).
