A – If you are already dealing with an IRS lien, then the type of bankruptcy case you are pursuing will impact what happens with this lien. Specifically:

  • With Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases, a plan to repay this lien over the course of the next 3 to 5 years will need to be developed and approved by the courts. It’s important to note here, however, that you may not be obligated to pay back the full amount of the lien (and that an attorney may be able to help you work out a lower repayment amount with the IRS).
  • With Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases, how existing IRS liens are resolved will depend on the value of your bankruptcy estate/the assets you have. In some cases, the IRS may be willing to release liens against you if you can prove that you don’t have sufficient assets.

Q – Do I need an attorney to help me with my tax debt and bankruptcy?
