Maybe I'm missing something here.

Thanks, Jeff. I don't see how that would help. I can get the Trustee to"designate" if that would help. But I think Dennis said that even if I can
get the Trustee to specify what it is being paid for, then that won't
result in the IRS applying it the way we want. Sounds like this is purely up
to the IRS, unless anyone has different experience.

Would it help, since you are filing the claims, to file separate claims
for each category? Identify the secured claims and file a POC that explains
the basis for the secured status. Then file a POC for the unsecured
priority claims, if there are some that exceed the collateral, and take the time
to explain the basis of that designation. If anything is left, file a
third POC designating the balance as unsecured, non-priority claims. Whenthe Trustee goes to pay claims he will list them as such on his final report,
which must be approved by the court and, if I recall, the COURT issues anORDER approving the distribution, by claim. After the case is closed, youand I both know that the IRS will claim to have applied the payments someother way, and claim the taxes that were paid were the unsecured
non-priority taxes. So, the IRS will move later (post-discharge) to levy or garnish.
THEN, you have to re-open the case, and ask for an injunction. But you will get it if the final report and order are clear. I hope you have a good
trustee who appreciates you bringing him/her an asset case, and
cooperating with the administration of that case. If you work with, and not against
the trustee, and explain what you want to accomplish, my experience is that
they will help you by making the final report VERY clear about what is
being paid for what.
The key to this is that you said YOU will file the claims for the IRS. Its gonna get tricky if the IRS files their own claims later. Then you might
have to object to their claims to make sure they have correctly
categorized each claim as secured/unsecured, and then priority/non priority. Very
tricky, but I think you can do it. Good luck! P.S. Had fun on the courseat the tourney with you a few weeks ago!
