Best Answer

Section 523 of the Bankruptcy Code outlines certain debts that may not be dischargable through bankruptcy and remain as a person debts once the bankruptcy estate is closed. Examples of these types of debts are educational loans, tax liens, criminal fines, and money or property obtained through false pretenses or fraud. The actual code section provide a more complete list. If you are thinking of filing for bankruptcy, I urge you to contact a attorney in your area who specializes in bankruptcy filing.

Does irs get involved if you file bankruptcy on credit card debt?

The Internal Revenue Service typically gets involved with a bankruptcy estate when it gets to get in line in front of certain other creditors to foreclose a federal tax lien. Title 11, United States Code, section 523(a)(1) excepts from discharge tax debts. However, the trustee can move the court, and the court has discretion, to make a determination of the extent of the bankrupt's tax liability for certain purposes under Title 11, United States Code, section 505.To the extent the credit card debt is discharged in bankruptcy it is not includible in gross income under Title 26, United States Code, section 108(a)(1)(A) [I.R.C. §108(a)(1)(A)]. To the extent it is forgiven by the creditor itself, as long as the discharge occurs while the taxpayer-debtor is insolvent, even if not adjudicated bankrupt, it is not includible in gross income under 26 U.S.C. §108(a)(1)(B) [I.R.C. §108(a)(1)(B)]. To the extent discharge of indebtedness occurs as to a taxpayer while not bankrupt and/or insolvent, it is includible under 26 U.S.C. §61(a)(12) [I.R.C. §61(a)(12)].


What are the types of bankruptcy?

Bankruptcy is a court proceeding under a federal statute called the "Bankruptcy Code". The Bankruptcy Code allows persons or other entities in financial distress relief from some or all of that person's debt. Bankruptcies are administered through a separate federal court called the United States Bankruptcy Court. There are several types of bankruptcies. For individuals, the two main types of bankruptcy filings are cases under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Code. Chapter 7 cases are also referred to as "liquidation" cases. Chapter 13 cases are commonly referred to as "debt adjustment" or "wage earner" cases. Individuals can also be eligible for Chapter 11 reorganization, but Chapter 11 is normally used by debtors in business or debtors with extremely high amounts of debt. Farmers can also file a separate type of bankruptcy available only to farmers under Chapter 12 of the Bankruptcy Code. The word "Chapter" is simply a reference to a chapter number in the Bankruptcy Code. Bankruptcy is a court proceeding under a federal statute called the "Bankruptcy Code".
