Again, according to Elmer Martin: focus on "including applicable filing
requirements", which includes due dates, and the significance of that, added
to the end of 523a. There are three decisions.
I haven't seen that be the case here in the 9th circuit....yet....

Okay, Ill bite. How do you get to that result under the Code as amended in
2005? I spent three years at IRS after BAPCPA, and even we didnt read the
Code this strictly.

There are exceptions and nuances, but essentially the tax (for income
taxes) must be:
(a) must be for a tax year for which a return (if required) is LAST DUE
to be filed more than 3 years prior to the filing of the bankruptcy case
(this period is tolled for any time a prior bankruptcy case was pending);
(b) the return was actually filed more than 2 years prior to the filing
of the bankruptcy case (beware, if the IRS or agency filed a substitute
return for any given prior year, it may NEVER be dischargeable);
(c) not assessed within 240 days (+30 days) prior to filing the
bankruptcy case (this time period is tolled during any offers in compromise)
(d) no attempt to willfully evade the payment of the tax
