QUESTION
Why did we receive a Certificate of Release of Federal Tax Lien?
Asked on Apr 15th, 2011 on Bankruptcy - Indiana
More details to this question:
My husband owes taxes for years 2000 and 2001. Last year we filed for chapter 7 bancruptcy and included his tax debt with the other debts. Today he received a Certificate of Release of Federal Tax Lien. The certificate states the last date to refile is in 2014. Does this mean his tax debt was discharged? Does he still owe money? Will we finally get our federal refund this year?

It would appear that your taxes were old enough to have been discharged in the Chapter 7. They are not going to pursue further collection, which is why the lien was released. You should get refunds now.

It is likely, from your statements, that your federal tax obligation was discharged by the bankruptcy.
