Can you file bankruptcy on back taxes?
NO
My brother is thinking of filing bankruptcy. If he filed for bankruptcy would this also take care of the back taxes he owes on his property?
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.
Can you receive a tax return if you are paying back taxes through bankruptcy?
Probably not. The IRS is getting out of sending paper tax returns to taxpayers. They want you to file electronically now. That is for everyone, though, it has nothing to do with whether you are in bankruptcy or not. NOW.... IF you are asking whether you will receive a tax REFUND while paying back taxes then the answer is a DEFINITE "N-O"! The IRS is not going to give you money while you still owe them money. They will "apply" any refunds/credit due you to whatever taxes you still owe.
Can you file bankruptcy while still owing back taxes?
Yes, as a general rule. Taxes of all kinds are not discharged by the bankruptcy process. That means, when it's all over with bankruptcy, you still owe taxes to the federal gorvernment, and any other government. In short, fiiling a petition in bankruptcy and a subsequent discharge will not get you out of paying taxes to the government. It's really easy to filing a petition in bankruptcy; it's very expensive not to do it right; the Bankruptcy Court is just not the same as your Magistrate's court, or the small-claim's court. It's very expensive to do it wrong and you cant do it but every so often (time limits: you just have to see the code. If you have a bankruptcy sitution you really need to see a lawyer who works with bankruptcy.
