I might get backlash for this advice, but If you are considering bankruptcy, you might want to first consider quitting any job that is providing you income and going on unemployment. Once you have done that for a while, go ahead and take a look at this: http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Offer-in-Compromise-1 http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Offer-in-Compromise-1
If you are unable to legitimately pay (not working and unable to find work by being on unemployment) you will be able to qualify for the irs' settlement plan.
You are facing being broke either way, your basically going to have to figure out how long your going to be broke...
- maxerickson 12y agoIn the U.S., you can't choose to quit and then go on unemployment. Also, a (relatively) healthy, single person with no children isn't going to qualify for many other programs.
- erichurkman 12y agoWell, if you quit, you're generally not eligible for unemployment benefits. Make sure you check your state rules.
- pessimizer 12y agoDepending on where you live, you might have to wait six months to a year to go on employment after you quit a job or are fired for cause, as opposed to being laid off. Unemployment has also been severely cut, and the term severely shortened since the days of the 99ers. There's really not any government support other than unemployment available for able-bodied single people (they've even cut food stamps recently, which is one of the cruelest things you can do in a depressed economy.) Of course, if you become homeless the IRS will definitely leave you alone.
