To be dischargeable in bankruptcy, income tax liabilities must satisfy certain rules under the Bankruptcy Code. We refer to these rules as “time rules.” The task of evaluating whether a particular tax liability has satisfied the time rules is a complex undertaking and requires knowledge or expertise which a consumer bankruptcy attorney may not have. Such attorneys are encouraged to seek outside expert assistance to assure competent advice and service to the debtor. Mr. King's research service via this web site provides such expert assistance to the bankruptcy bar.

The service provided by Morgan King's TaxJustice.com is a law research service, not a legal advice service. Mr. King does not provide legal advice or legal services directly to taxpayers, debtors or potential debtors via the Internet. The purpose of this service is to assist attorneys in evaluating the extent to which an attorney's client's tax liabilities have satisfied the time rules for discharge in bankruptcy. Mr. King is not licensed to practice law in any state other than California.

By using this service, the attorney agrees that payment of research fees to Morgan King or TaxJustice.com is not a fee-sharing agreement in connection with a bankruptcy case. Attorney further agrees that the research fees paid for this service shall be deemed a cost billable dollar-for-dollar to the client, and shall not involve profit to the attorney over and above the cost paid to this service.

The results of the requested research will be e-mailed to the requesting attorney.
