Tax Attorney Baltimore Maryland
Bankruptcy
can provide relief. Some taxes and penalties are dischargeable; those that can't
be discharged can be paid without interest in Chapter 13. The
automatic stay in bankruptcy stops even collection actions by taxing authorities,
including garnishment and seizure. These provisions of the law apply equally to
state and federal tax agencies. How much relief?
The precise measure of the relief available in bankruptcy depends on a number
of factors including: 1) the kind of tax involved, 2)
the age of the tax, 3) whether a return was filed, and 4)
the chapter of bankruptcy selected. In general, unsecured
income taxes that were first due more than three years before the bankruptcy is
filed, for which a timely and non fraudulent return was filed, can be discharged
in full in any chapter of bankruptcy. Richard Hackerman

Installment agreements
Offers in Compromise
An Installment
Agreement is an agreement in which the Internal Revenue Service permits
a person to pay delinquent tax liabilities over time. Richard J.
Hackerman will attempt to negotiate an Installment Agreement for you.
These negotiations can be difficult and requires the knowledge of the guidelines
of the Internal Revenue Service. I can also work with you to attempt to
reach an agreement with the State of Maryland. An
Offer in Compromise is an agreement between the taxpayer and the government that
settles a tax liability for payment of less than the total amount due. The
Internal Revenue Service may accept an offer in compromise when it appears
that the tax liability can not be collected in full and the amount the taxpayer
is offering equals at a minimum the smallest amount that the IRS
believes that it can collect from the taxpayer’s assets and income.
