Sometimes you can get out of IRS debt, and this might be one of those times. I'll have to check on the relevant dates when I get a minute.
As for fines relating to criminal activity, I would think those would not be dischargeable.
Here is what I do not understand:
The notice of the IRS lien was filed in county court (I cannot remember the date) but it listed a final date for "filing" as the year 2020. What does that mean? If she had not actually filed a tax return certainly the IRS would not give her that long to file it. Given that it is something like 10 years out from the original lien file date (IIRC) does that mean the lien already filed by the IRS is good until the year 2020? I have never seen anything like that before; most liens have to be perfected after a certain amount of time has passed and usually the IRS will just keep refiling with the county court in order to reserve their right to collect at a time when the delinquent taxpayer can actually pay. That's what I thought was going on with this, until this bankruptcy filing and all the talk here of three years having passed so now the tax debt may be dischargeable.
Does anyone know if that year 2020 notation on the original lien filing would be sufficient for the IRS to show good faith effort to collect? If not, what could that last date to file in the year 2020 mean?
