[CLBS] Finality of a proof of claim

[Christopher Williams]

What is the finality of a proof of claim when a taxing agency lists a tax debt as non-priority?

Ch. 13 debtor completes his plan and receives a discharge.  A large amount of tax debt was scheduled as non-priority, and the ISTC and IRS both filed proofs of claim with a small amount listed as priority and a substantial amount listed as general unsecured.  Now that the bankruptcy has concluded, the taxing agencies are attempting to enforce the large amount of tax debt listed as general unsecured in the POCs.

My preliminary research shows that these debts are not a part of the narrow exception of non-priority, non-dischargeable tax debts.
