Question Filing Chapter 13, tried Offer and Compromise, owe for 2002,2003,2006,because of back pay for SSI, now owe for 2007&2008. Can any of these be discharged? How will they make me pay in the 13.They were all filed on time, and I tried to pay on them.
Answer Your question, since it deals with taxes and chapter 13 budget issues, requires analysis way beyond the scope of this free service, but I will endeavor to answer as best I can. The 2002 and 2003 taxes may be considered non-priority (there's no way to know without seeing a literal transcript/record of account from the IRS) and, hence, able to be paid potentially less than 100% in a Chapter 13 case. How much less depends on the means test analysis and your budget, as well as what assets you have, in determining your monthly plan payment and the term.
The 2006-2008 taxes at this point would be priority taxes and must be paid 100% over the term of your plan (36-60 months).
