What §523 Nondischargeable Debts Does

Not all debts are dischargeable. Student loans (with narrow exceptions), most taxes less than 3 years old, domestic support, and debts obtained by fraud survive bankruptcy discharge. Some debts are automatically nondischargeable; others require a creditor to file an adversary proceeding within 60 days of the 341 meeting.
