There is no debt ceiling for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. If you qualify for Chapter 7, all of your eligible debts can be discharged no matter how high the debts are.
At the conclusion of your Chapter 7 bankruptcy you will receive a discharge of debt. A discharge releases you (the debtor) from personal liability for certain dischargeable debts. Some taxes may be dischargeable. Whether a federal tax debt may be discharged depends on the unique facts and circumstances of each case.
Discharge (of debts) refers to the process in bankruptcy court, when a debtor is no longer liable for their debts, and the lender is no longer allowed to make attempts to collect the debt.
