Best Answer

The IRS acts like any other creditor only with more power. If you go into bankruptcy, your assets, except for those that are protected are sold and your creditors, including the IRS, get the money. After that, if bankruptcy wipes your record clean, that includes the IRS. There may be other considerations. You will need to discuss the options with your lawyer.

Pay Your Taxes?

If you require a tax extension and do not owe any money to the IRS, then you are in good shape. However, if you do owe money to the IRS, then you are still going to have to pay up by the deadline. Even if you want to get a tax extension, you will have to pay at least 90% of what you owe to the IRS ahead of time. The other 10% of what you owe may then be given to the IRS by the tax extension deadline. Be sure to understand the tax extension deadline rules so you do not get into legal trouble with the IRS.

Who can keep your tax refund?

If you owe back taxes, the IRS can apply the refund to prior year's taxes owed. I think if someone is in default on a student loan, then tax refund may be withheld to pay that (not positive though). The IRS dot GOV website may have more information.
