Usually the IRS will allow you to add the taxes for the current year.

Yes, tax debt can be added to your Plan, but you may have to increase your payments accordingly.

That depends on your Chapter 13 Plan, as to whether you can amend to include same.

You must list all debts owed at the time you file bankruptcy. If you owe taxes, you will need to arrange to pay them if you file a 7. If you file a 13 you will pay the taxes in full through your plan.

You need to talk to your bankruptcy attorney. What you are describing is a 1305 tax.

No. The Chapt 13 payment is separate if any arrearages are owed. If you have an overpayment in 2012, the IRS will probably apply any overpayment to any deficiency.

Not normally unless you get their permission to amend the plan to include them.
