Get Relief From Tax Debt
Falling behind on your taxes can result in serious consequences if you do not act right away to remedy the situation. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Indiana Department of Revenue (IDR) respectively investigate and collect any delinquent federal and state taxes. If you fall behind on your taxes for too long and do not catch up, you could be subjected to wage garnishment, levies, and other serious forms of debt collection. You could also face serious federal charges and the criminal penalties that come with it.

A Bankruptcy May Elimiate Tax Debt
Often times a bankruptcy can reduce or eliminate your tax debt. It can also help structure an affordable repayment. It is a common misconception that taxes cannot be discharged in bankruptcy. That is simply not true. If your taxes meet certain qualifications, the taxes may go away forever or be significantly reduce. Any taxes that are not discharged may be paid through the bankruptcy or Fugate Law Firm may deal directly with the IRS to resolve the remaining taxes.
