The issues created by the intersection of bankruptcy law and tax law are complex and marked by the tension between the fundamental goal of the federal bankruptcy laws is to give debtors a financial "fresh start" from burdensome debts and the applicable federal income tax laws. As a result, certain tax liabilities are not dischargeable in bankruptcy. Moreover, a debtor generally continues to be subject to applicable federal income tax laws and must timely file federal income tax returns and pay
federal income tax.
This webinar examines the tax responsibilities of a debtor, as well as the types of tax claims and what requirements must be met for a taxing authority to have a secured, priority, or administrative claim in a bankruptcy case. This webinar also explores how taxable income becomes part of the debtor’s estate
during the pendency of the bankruptcy proceeding, and how that income is taxed.
The treatment of tax attribute carryovers, alternative minimum tax considerations, and cancellation of debt income are also addressed with respect to the debtor’s potential tax liability. These tax issues can also be important factors during a debtor’s sale of assets pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code.
This webinar is delivered in Plain English, understandable to you even if you do not have a background in the subject. It brings you into an engaging, even sometimes humorous, conversation designed to entertain as it teaches. And, it is specifically designed to be viewed as a stand-alone webinar, meaning that you do not have to view the other webinars in the series to get a lot out of it.
