Unfortunately, you will have to pay your income taxes from 2008, even after your bankruptcy is finalized. Federal law prohibits income tax debt from being discharged, so you will still owe, but you may find that they stop attempting collection until after your bankruptcy case is complete. You may want to ask your bankruptcy lawyer if he has tax experience so that he can act as your tax lawyer in dealing with the IRS to settle the debts you owe them as well.
