Where do i list irs debt? Confused!

[clickman]

I am aware that back income taxes can be discharged in BR if they meet the criteria (at least 3 years since were filed, etc.). I am confused however as to where the debts should be listed in my filing forms.

Some details on my case; I will be filing Chapter 7 BR (yes I qualify for Ch 7)

Some specific questions;
1. On Schedule E - "Unsecured Priority Claims" there is a checkbox for "Taxes and
Certain Other Debts Owed to Governmental Units" I need to check that box, correct?

2. Most of the information I have been reading says that back IRS taxes that meet the criteria should be listed in Schedule F - UNSECURED NONPRIORITY CLAIMS. Is that correct or should I list them in Schedule E - UNSECURED PRIORITY CLAIMS? A bit confusing to say the least.

Thanks

If you believe you have met the test for discharging the taxes, they are listed on Schedule F. Schedule E would show "none". Just remember, if you are wrong as it relates to the tax being discharged, the fact that you listed it on Schedule F is irrelevant. Either it is or it is not discharged, no matter where it is listed.

Hi clickman,

Are you filing pro-se (yourself) ? If you are, do you have the NOLO book? www.nolo.com Apparently a 'must have' for pro-se filers.

Another caution is to read your Local Bankruptcy Rules found on your BK courts website. This will tell you where they do things a bit differently than the NOLO book or other courts.

Of course, if you are not filing pro-se, forgive the extraneous advice.....
