All you bankruptcy tax mavens:
Natural person Debtor sold some highly appreciated stock earlier this year.
But the proceeds weren't enough to bail him out of the financial problems. He has to file Chapter 7 (and not eligible for Chapter 13).
Come tax time he will owe a bunch of capital gains for 2012.
Can debtor file a tax return for the short year ending on the Petition date, and thereby make that capital gains tax a pre-petition debt, subject to being paid on a priority basis out of the assets in the estate?
Citations welcome!
Thanks.
