It depends on which bankruptcy you file for. If you file for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, which includes a liquidation of any assets and paying off your debt once and for all, you'd be looking at a discharge within about 3 months. With Chapter 13 Bankruptcy your attorney would set up a payment plan for you to pay off your debts over a specified amount of time. Normally the payments are scheduled to be completed by the debtor in 3 to 5 years. So the discharge time will vary depending on what is agreed upon in the court. All the required payments must be made before the discharge can occur. I've written about these 2 types of bankruptcy in my blog, where I consider how these processes can affect your tax debt. http://taxreliefsolutions.blogspot.com/2009/06/are-you-considering-bankruptcy-as.html

After a Chapter 7 bankruptcy (BK7) is discharged, the process can take several months to finalize, but the discharge itself typically occurs about 3 to 6 months after filing.
