Debt relief is necessary for many people. I believe that people should pay their bills if they are able. However, if the ability to pay is not present and there is no light at the end of the tunnel, then bankruptcy may be the only appropriate remedy. Bankruptcy is just another way of asking for help. We all need help at some point in our lives. There is no shame in asking for help.

Similar relief to that of bankruptcy is found in the Internal Revenue Code. Congress has codified various methods of requesting help with payment of tax liability. This can be accomplished by requesting to make affordable payments on a monthly basis. It can also be accomplished by offering a sum less than the total amount owed to the government based upon certain conditions. Penalties that have been added to the tax by the government can be forgiven if the right set of circumstances exists. Sometimes a spouse or former spouse should be held responsible for the payment of tax as opposed to the individual the government is enforcing collection against.

Knowledge of the key provisions of the law pertaining to debt and tax relief is essential for a successful practice. At the law office of W.
