Who says lightning doesn’t strike twice? In the past few weeks I have been asked two separate questions not once but twice that I haven’t heard of in a long time.

The first one dealt with bankruptcy and income tax liabilities with the IRS. I guess with the economy the way it is, more people are planning or have gone though bankruptcy. The income taxes owed can be discharged in bankruptcy if they are at least three years old when the petition is filed. The three year period starts from the time the tax return was filed even though this might be later than the statutory date. But the discharge will not exempt the taxpayer from fraud penalties and it will not forgive payroll taxes and trust fund taxes. (See below) It will include late filing penalties. If there was any property that was originally attached by the IRS and not sold at a tax sale still belongs to the taxpayer. But if he goes bankrupt the title than goes over to the trustee. Bankruptcy can have a greater long term effect on the taxpayer than working out a payment plan with the IRS. Bankruptcy will stay on your credit report for 10 years and will have an impact on car loans, (paying a higher interest rate) and difficulty in obtaining a mortgages and credit card(s). One condition that must be met is the proof that all taxes have been filed for the past four years.

There are four types of bankruptcy, Chapters 7, 11, 12, and 13. Each is unique in its own right and should be discussed with a bankruptcy attorney.

If you can afford to pay the taxes and choose the bankruptcy route, the IRS can seize the money and assets and the debt will be dismissed from the court action. Continue reading…

The levels of cholesterol in your body determines how healthy your heart is. There is the “good” cholesterol called HDL which stands for high-density lipoprotein and the “bad” cholesterol called LDL standing for low-density lipoprotein.

5 Ways To Boost Your Good Cholesterol (HDL)
