Guiding You in Making Informed Decisions About Tax Debt
If you have lost your job, or if you are in dire financial straits and unable to catch up on your state and federal tax debt, an experienced consumer bankruptcy attorney may be able to help you through this crisis.
Assistance with tax debt relief is just one of many legal services we provide at Hitchcock & Associates, P.C. For more than 20 years, attorney Thomas R. Hitchcock has helped many Chicago residents eliminate their back tax problems.
Tax debt can present special difficulties for bankruptcies. Some types cannot be "discharged" — so some or all of what you owe will remain after the bankruptcy has concluded.
State and federal governments expect to be paid the taxes you owe in a timely fashion. At Hitchcock & Associates, we can show you how to use Chapter 7 and 13 bankruptcy protections to deal with back taxes. Contact us to speak with lawyer Thomas R. Hitchcock, free of charge. Call (312) 445-9062.
Has Your Tax Debt Become Too Much? Hitchcock & Associates Can Help.
Your bankruptcy filing can halt accumulating interest and penalties, if properly filed under Chapter 7 and the debt stretches back more than two years. The Chapter 13 maximum for tax debt elimination is five years. To get started on your filing you will need to tell us how long you have owed the money; how long it has been since the return was due; how long it has been since the return was filed; and how long it has been since the tax was assessed.
You should be aware, however, that if a fraudulent return was filed, or if there was any effort to avoid paying taxes, your tax debt generally cannot be discharged.
We want to speak with you about your financial situation. We can help you devise a strategy for income tax relief that is designed to put you back on your feet and in the government's good graces once again.
