The IRS imposes penalties on taxpayers in many types of situations; for instance, non-payment or late payment of taxes, late filing of returns, providing late information and many more.

Bankruptcy, as known to most of the citizens of UnitedStates, is a situation when a person is not in a position to clear off the debts and as a result has appealed to the court to relieve those debts. When a person files bankruptcy, the debts that he or the were having are waived off. These debts can include credit card bills, utility payments and any other unsecured loans.
There are many cases where taxpayers are not at all in a position to pay their tax debt to the IRS. If you are a person with no means to pay the taxes that you owe, have very few assets which can be taxed and have an income which is just enough to meet the necessary expenses, the IRS may consider you in the category of ‘not collectible’.
