<prompt> Human: hello. I posted over in bankruptcy, but that subreddit is as dead as michael jackson... here is the issue:my mom is in quite a financial mess. She owes the IRS approx 100,000... and she owes the State of California approx 7,500. She got her into this mess by not paying taxes for quite a few years starting around 2005. The IRS has ordered both of her jobs to change her claiming status to claim ZERO dependents, and from the few details she has told me, the State of California is taking a large percentage from both of her paychecks. she works at 2 different hospitals.. She is making payments to the IRS for her federal debt, but she cant survive like this. She works 6 days per week, 12 hours per day... and is barely getting by. She is 64 years old and I dont know how much longer she can keep living like this.I should note that she has filed bankruptcy twice before. Once in 1990, and then again in the early 2000s.Any helpinfo is appreciated.  <response>: Tax debt is dischargeable under certain conditions, looks like she would have had to file for each year, just not have paid. If she hasnt done that its too late now, shell have to file and then wait two years to file for bankrupcty.Also, she wont get any tax debt from the last 3 years discharged either.Talk to a taxbankruptcy lawyer.
