By Florida Law Advisers, P.A. | Posted on March 6, 2023

To be eligible for discharge in bankruptcy, the tax assessment must be levied at least 240 days prior to the date you file bankruptcy. If you do not satisfy the 240 day rule the income taxes will not be eligible for discharge.

Can I use a credit card to pay tax debt?

By Florida Law Advisers, P.A. | Posted on March 6, 2023

Yes, you can use credit cards or other loans to pay off a tax bill. However, loans used to pay off a non-dischargeable tax bill will also not be eligible for a discharge in bankruptcy.
