Helping you make smart bankruptcy decisions

What taxes go away with pre 2006 legal changes to the bankruptcy laws?

My father had back taxes and files for bankruptcy in early 2006 now the federal government is comming after the back taxes. Does the bankruptcy take care of those taxes or is he still liable for them? (Lives in Kansas if this matters)

Income taxes on returns that the taxpayer filed that became due and owing over three years ago–for the most part 2003 and before–would be discharged except to the extent the attached to exempt or abandoned property. Withheld taxes are not discharged. What exactly did your father owe that he is now getting bills for?
