Owing taxes to the government, especially if they have accumulated over the years, can leave Arizona debtors feeling not only overwhelmed by their obligation but also scared. Without the current resources to pay taxes and with no real viable hope of drastically increasing income to pay taxes, they may not know what to do about their financial situation.
As discussed previously on the Mesa Bankruptcy Law Blog, declaring bankruptcy is one of the options available to discharge taxes. Though certain restrictions apply, there are certain income taxes that are eligible for discharge through bankruptcy. Taxes that are more than three years old can be wiped out, provided it has been two years since the debtor has filed a tax return.
