Yes, a business can seek bankruptcy protection to address back Business Taxes, but the ability to discharge those tax debts depends on several factors. Generally, income taxes may be discharged if they meet specific criteria, such as being filed on time and being at least three years old. However, payroll taxes and certain other tax obligations are typically non-dischargeable. It's essential for businesses to consult with a bankruptcy attorney to navigate these complexities effectively.

Can you file bankruptcy while still owing back taxes?

Yes, as a general rule. Taxes of all kinds are not discharged by the bankruptcy process. That means, when it's all over with bankruptcy, you still owe taxes to the federal gorvernment, and any other government. In short, fiiling a petition in bankruptcy and a subsequent discharge will not get you out of paying taxes to the government. It's really easy to filing a petition in bankruptcy; it's very expensive not to do it right; the Bankruptcy Court is just not the same as your Magistrate's court, or the small-claim's court. It's very expensive to do it wrong and you cant do it but every so often (time limits: you just have to see the code.
