Best Answer

Yes, you can, and you may be able to discharge the taxes owed, if they are income taxes for returns filed more than three years prior to filing, unless there are more recent adjustments to the taxes owed.

You can also file a Chapter 13 to arrange a payment plan for the taxes, though the IRS has become more amenable to reasonable payment plans without a bankruptcy filing.

Consult an experienced bankruptcy lawyer in your area.

Can you discharge unpaid payroll taxes in bankruptcy?

Some debts, such as taxes (including payroll taxes, most student loans and unpaid wages) are not forgiven in bankruptcy even if you file, and will not be discharged even if you are given bankruptcy relief of your other debts. And being in arrears in taxes may bar you from getting any bankruptcy relief at all . Talk to an attorney as soon as possible.

Do you have to file taxes before you file bankruptcy?

Well no. But you would want to have filed all your returns. If you have $ coming back...(which is common for people who don't file, especially those that have limited financial income), you would want it. If you owe anything, what you owe can become part of the BK and may be relieved.
