What do you need to know about filing your tax return if you have filed bankruptcy during that year.?
Craigash7
No, you still owe the government.
Bankruptcy proceedings begin with the filing of a petition with the bankruptcy court. The filing of the petitions creates a bankruptcy estate, which generally consists of all the assets of the person filing the bankruptcy petition. A separate taxable entity is created if the bankruptcy petition is filed by an individual under chapter 7 or chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The tax obligations of the person filing a bankruptcy petition (the debtor) vary depending on the bankruptcy chapter under which the petition was filed. Generally, when a debt owed to another is canceled the amount canceled or forgiven is considered income that is taxed to the person owing the debt. If a debt is canceled under a bankruptcy proceeding, the amount canceled is not income. However, the canceled debt reduces the amount of other tax benefits the debtor would otherwise be entitled to. This information is not intended to cover bankruptcy law in general, or to provide detailed discussions of the tax rules for the more complex corporate bankruptcy reorganizations or other highly technical transactions. For additional tax information on bankruptcy, refer to Publication 908, Bankruptcy Tax Guide.

What is the last day to file a tax return?
For Federal income tax for most people they are due on or before April 15, of the year following the reporting year. Some State returns have different deadlines. However, a 6 month extension of time to file is easily available. (But note that is an extension fo filing the complete return, NOT paying. Payments are due, through quarterly estimates or payroll withholding throughout the reporting year. An underpayment during this time can be made right with the filing of the return, or extension, on April 15. Failing to make adequate payments can also void the extension and subject someone to penalties and interest). An un-filed return is ALWAYS open to audit and assesment by the Government, as no statute of limitations even starts to run until one is filed. It may be filed at ANYTIME after the due date. An incorrect return may be corected by filing an amended return, anytime after the original filing...although the time to obtain a refund is limited.
