Get your taxes done using TurboTax

No. You have received a "fresh start" from the Court. You should file your 2016 federal and state tax returns normally.

The IRS offers the following guidance:

"At the conclusion of your Chapter 7 bankruptcy you will receive a discharge of debt. A discharge releases you (the debtor) from personal liability for certain dischargeable debts. Some taxes may be dischargeable. Whether a federal tax debt may be discharged depends on the unique facts and circumstances of each case. Consult your bankruptcy attorney to determine which tax debts may be discharged."

For more information, please see the U.S. Courts Bankruptcy Basics Web page, particularly "The Chapter 7 Discharge."
