[CLBS] Chapter 13 Plan

[Alexandra Caval]

If the IRS is properly secured then you have to determine how much of the
IRS's claim is secured by the value of the debtor's property (note, this is
the value of the property before exemptions). You have to pay that secured
amount with interest over the term of the plan to meet confirmation
requirements; I think the interest is statutory but I always go off the
interest number in the IRS's proof of claim. The only way you can pay them
less than that is if they specifically agree to that treatment. So, if
you're planning to do something creative then it'd be a good idea to call
Bill Humphries and run it by him first; maybe even do a stipulation re plan
treatment with him since he's going to end up in your case on behalf of the
IRS. Without that, you're going to have a chapter 13 trustee arguing to the
judge that you're plan isn't confirmable and/or feasible.
