Addressing How Sales and Payroll Taxes Are Handled in Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

Chapter 11 bankruptcy is designed to help businesses reorganize their debts and remain in operation. Many business leaders have questions about whether taxes are discharged in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. Our law firm's business bankruptcy attorneys are committed to guiding you through the legal process so you are left with no surprises.

If your company pursues relief through Chapter 11 bankruptcy, many of your debts can be discharged or reorganized into a realistic payment plan. However, sales and payroll taxes are an exception, as they can never be discharged through bankruptcy. In fact, the person responsible for paying the bills for the company can personally be held accountable for unpaid corporate sales taxes and payroll taxes.

Our law firm's business bankruptcy attorneys are highly skilled at negotiating with the IRS to resolve unpaid payroll and sales taxes. We are committed to helping you address federal tax payroll concerns through negotiating with the IRS to accept an:

  • Offer-in-compromise — If you are behind on your federal payroll taxes or sales taxes, our bankruptcy attorneys can work with the IRS to seek approval for an offer-in-compromise. The IRS is more likely to accept an offer-in-compromise if you realistically cannot pay the full amount due.
  • Payment plan — Our law firm is highly skilled at working with the IRS to accept payment plans over a year or two to address unpaid sales taxes and payroll taxes. The IRS is more likely to approve a payment plan for smaller amounts of back taxes.

The state of Indiana does not have an offer-in-compromise process to address state-level back taxes. However, we have extensive experience negotiating payment plans with the Indiana Collection of Revenue. We will apply our years of experience and legal skills to help your business gain financial relief, while addressing any tax ramifications.
