Income Tax Return -

[JGGR]

Ok, filed tonight. Turns out we owe about $700 to the IRS and $30 something on our state return. What's going to happen now? Do we have to pay that money now (not sure how since we are 'on a budget'), or wait till we are discharged (boy, we're just getting started on our plan)? Let's assume for next year, we end up getting a return. Would they deduct what we owe this year to next year's return and give us any remaining balance?
I'll contact our attorney tomorrow, but it's obvious that we don't have any disposable income to give to Uncle Sam right now. I know IRS debts are non dischargeable and I'm sure we'll have to pay for it somehow, but I don't know how these things work. Anybody has any ideas? THANKS!!!

Good Morning! I had this same situation in 2004. I ended up owing $217 in Federal taxes. They knew I was in bankruptcy, I called them and told them I had no disposable income. They transferred me to some "bankruptcy" group in the IRS and I talked to them. I never heard a peep out of them again- no bill, no bothing. This year, when I filed for my 2005 taxes, I had a return of $674. They kept the $217 and sent me the difference back.

I would call the IRS, tell them you owe money but are in a Chapter 13. They will work something out.

That's good news! I will have my husband call the IRS and explain the situation to them. Thanks!!!
