I have been considering claiming bankruptcy for quite some time now. I have no money and am a student.

Should I try to settle with the credit card company for less than I owe? Or should I still claim bankruptcy like I was planning originally?

Only go for bankruptcy if and only if you know for a fact you will become homeless, and extremely hungry within the next month. In other words, try to pay debts off first.

We are in bankruptcy. Do we have to pay our income taxes that we owe from 2008 or can they be entered into the bankruptcy debt?
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.
