The IRS is currently garnishing my wages which started Aug 2006. If I file a chapter 13 to stop the garnishment and also include other bills I owe, can I later file a Chapter 7 in 2009 (8 years after the 1st bankrupcy me and my husband filed)to discharge the remaining money I owe that wasn't paid in the chapter 13? Basically, I'd pay into chapter 13 for 2 years and then convert the remaining tax debt and other debts into a chapter 7. someone said once a 13 is filed, then i could never go and file a chapter 7, but is responsible for the entire tax debt. is this true. i have tax problems.
