523a1C would make the entire amount of tax nondischargeable. I've never run into this, but I don't know how it can be read differently.- John D. Faucher818/889-8080

I've never seen this be an issue. As long as the corporation filed
the returns on time, that should satisfy the requirements. I've had
numerous debtors discharge SBOE debts and they never filed their own
returns with the SBOE.

John F raises an interesting point. I don't think I've ever seen any individual self assess, or file a return as a responsible officer on behalf of a corporate tax liability.

What if the business files a chapter 7, there is a notice of claims bar
date, and the IRS does not file a proof of claim. Would that estop the IRS
from making an assessment against the individual?

Yes, because otherwise the taxes would "still be assessable" on the

You have to wait three years from when the return was due, and two years from when it was actually filed. You did file a return that made the personal assessment against the principal, didn't you? Read up on Ilko for more information. If the Board of Equalization made a personal assessment against the debtor based on the corporation's returns, but there is no return filed showing that the individual is also liable, then it's not dischargeable for the same reason that an IRS assessment based on a substitute for return is never dischargeable.

I have a PC who called me about this same issue. I actually read your website Mark about this. If the client did not shut down his business down, must he shut it down and be assessed the taxes personally before the tax debt qualifies for discharge?

SBOE taxes are clearly dischargeable if the requirements are met for
discharge (same as income taxes).
The trick is that the taxes must have been fully assessed more than
240 days prior to filing the bankruptcy and not still be assessable
as of the date of filing.
