Geiger v. IRS (In re Geiger)
Apr
28
2008
Ruling
Debtor's IRS liability was dischargeable although debtor spouse's liability was nondischargeable due to willful avoidance attempts.
Procedural posture
Debtors, a married couple, filed a complaint against defendant IRS for a determination that the husband's tax liabilities for 1993, 1995, 1997, and 1998 and the couple's joint obligations for 2000 and 2001 were properly discharged. The IRS opposed the claim on the ground that debtor husband had willfully attempted to defeat or evade payment of taxes within the meaning of 11 U.S.C.S. § 523(a)(1)(C) but offered no evidence as to the wife.
