If federal income or other taxes are listed as debts to be discharged, the IRS may send a representative to the 341 meeting to question the debtor about the listings, or if the debtor does not list debts owed to the IRS, a representative may be sent o ask the debtor about the omissions. Tax debts must be listed even if the debtor has a payment agreement with the IRS.

There are debts that are not dischargeable in BK. Federal and State taxes. Child support and/or alimony. Student loans. Personal injury judgments, etc. A BK discharge does not mean debts are no longer owed. It prevents the creditor(s) from attempting to collect. After discharge, a consumer can choose to pay any creditor, without reassuming the debt as a whole.

What are the differences between bankruptcy options?

Bankruptcy is a federal court process. It is designed to help consumers and businesses eliminate debt or repay debts under the protection of the bankruptcy court. There are two categories of bankruptcy, "liquidation" or "reorganization":Liquidation bankruptcy (or Chapter 7) - a consumer or business asks the court to discharge the debts owed (some debts cannot be discharged). In exchange, the business's assets or the consumer's property is sold (liquidated) and the proceeds are used to pay off the creditors.Reorganization bankruptcy (chapter 13) - involves filing a plan with the bankruptcy court suggesting how you will repay your debt. Some debts must be repaid in full while others require only a percentage or nothing at all.
