Only holders of undischarged debt can come after assets or income after a discharged bankruptcy. Some debts may not be dischargeable in a bankruptcy, such as tax debt. The meaning of dismissed is different from discharged, however. A dismissed bankruptcy would be one that did not conclude. In that case, creditors may attempt any legal means to recover what is owed.

Can tax liens be dismissed under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13?
Even if you discharge a tax debt in a bankruptcy (which can be done in limited circumstances), the lien associated with that debt is not released by bankruptcy proceedings. The result is that you may come out of bankruptcy with no tax liability, but there may still be a lien on your property. That lien attaches to any equity in your assets that existed prior to the bankruptcy and was exempted in the bankruptcy. For example, if you owned your house and filed bankruptcy with $20,000 of equity in your home, you may have been able to exempt that equity in the bankruptcy through a homestead exemption (so that you could keep your home). If that happened, after your bankruptcy was discharged the IRS would still have a lien against you that attaches to that $20,000 of equity (but not to any equity that accrues after the bankruptcy filing).
