What is the name of your state? Georgia
I am in debt to the IRS. In speaking with a tax resolution agency their advice is I can declare Chapter 7 and a very large amount of the debt to the IRS will be discharged.
There will be a much smaller amount left which will be set up on automatic withdrawal.
My problem is this, I now live overseas and would want to continue to live here. My current debt is in excess of $50,000 and, upon filing bankruptcy, this amount will be approximately $7,500. But living overseas I need my passport. Am told my passport is currently considered "seriously delinquent" and this presents a huge problem. In order to file bankruptcy I believe I have to be in the USA and appear before the judge that will review this case.
Questions:
- Will I be able to return under these circumstances?
- By FILING bankruptcy will this release the passport from being "seriously delinquent?"
- By filing bankruptcy, MUST I appear in court or could the attorney do this "by proxy?"
- Will this filing of bankruptcy "solve the problems" or do I need to continue to let the agents I have through the tax resolution agency continue? I can pay this remaining balance over ABOUT 60 months and can have this amount ACH'd from the account so this can be corrected.
I have other questions but this is a VERY good beginning for what I need to know. I thank all for their honest and reasonable responses. Please refrain from sarcasm, this is a very troubling issue and would like to engage with those that are willing to help. The responses will be welcomed.
