bankruptcy creditors priority
Please help. Do I still owe the IRS?
In 2003 I filed bankruptcy and gave up some income property to satisfy my creditors. At the time I thought I owed the IRS around $4000 (they would have had a priority claim). The IRS was notified by my attorney prior to the case being settled, but they never filed a claim. Since then they have sent me notices of the amount owed and interest due. In November of 2007 they added a charge of $8000 on top of the previous amount. This was for two quarters of employee taxes which I know were paid.
My question is if they were notified and did not file a claim under the established guidelines, do I still owe them? Also, is there a time limit in Colorado for me to dispute the judgment According to them I owe around $13,000 which is an amount I am unable to pay.
Any professional guidance would be much appreciated.
Under most circumstances, IRS debts are not cleared through bankrupcy, but there are exceptions. I’d talk to the lawyer you used for your bankrupcy to check whether you met an exception.
If the employee taxes were paid, then you need to show the proof to the IRS and demand that amount be taken back off.
