Decatur, AL asked in Bankruptcy and Tax Law for Alabama

Q: If I file for bankruptcy in alabama am I still libel for taxes if I did not specifically dissolve the S-Corp

I filed bankruptcy in 2010 and the Morgan County court placed the business in Bankruptcy in 2011. I thought I had it worked out but went ahead and filed dissolution a couple of months ago. Now the state has notified me that I am libel for 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016. I don't have the money to pay at $250 a pop. Further, when I was in business, I showed a loss almost every year.

A: If the S-corp filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy back in 2011. It, in essence, dissolves the company. I would contact the State of Alabama Dept of Revenue and provide them with paperwork that shows that the corporation filed for bankruptcy prior to those years and that it did not conduct any business during that time period as well!
