Central District Consumer Bankruptcy Attorney's Association

Renay, from having recently researched this issue, it's my understanding
that an income tax lien attaches to ALL property and there are no
exemptions. With respect to personal property, the tax lien is secured to
the extent of the value of what the debtor has listed in Schedule B as of
the date of filing.

For what its worth....I've made the mistake of listing non-priority
unsecured debt in schedule E as well. Then had FTB come back and say its
not dischargeable, argued with them that it was included in the Chapter 7
and even though listed in E, it is actually unsecured and they relented. So
just double check with them to make sure its cleared off their books.
Also, from the school of hard knocks.....It really is worthwhile to order a
tax transcript for some of these debtors who say they owe taxes and how
much. The transcripts beautifully lay out each year, with the activity,
what is owed and when the tax return is filed. It makes it so much easier
to schedule the taxes.
There is only one of many small thing I still don't understand but correct
me if this is wrong..... If there is a tax lien that has been filed and
recorded, does it apply to all of debtors property whether or not exempt or
does it apply only to the unexempt property. If there is unexempt property
the IRS would have a lien in an amount equal to the unexempt and they would
have to be paid back?
Thanks

lots of debtors make this mistake all the time. FTB will independently decide if the tax is dischargeable (which means, if it is dischargeable, they will wipe it off the books) The risk is the last test, did the debtor do anything to evade or defeat the tax. Clerk gets to decide if you do not sue to determine dischargeability. However, don't fret, in standard circumstances, these taxes are wiped.
