Getting rid of taxes through a Chapter 13 bankruptcy requires you to complete a plan
A Chapter 13 case can be such a good tool for dealing with income tax debt, especially if you owe more than just a year or two of taxes. BUT, you lose those benefits if you don't successfully finish paying off the Chapter 13 plan. So, go into it only if you have both a burning desire to make it all the way, and a truly feasible plan with which to do so.
