We had talked to one bk attorney who said city and state taxes are never dischargeable, just federal taxes. That website seems to suggest otherwise.
The information contained on that web site is quite good however, mileage may vary. Specifically you have not told us what type of tax you owe and whether or not the tax is in the nature of a trust fund type tax. Nor do we know for what years, whether you filed returns, when you filed them, if substitute returns were filed and if so, by which taxing authority, etc.

As you can see, discharging taxes can be complicated (or easy depending on what you are dealing with). If you found one attny who told you the local tax is not dischargeable, ask him/her "why". Also, there is nothing wrong with getting additional opinions and, since most initial bk consultations are free, you should be meeting with two, three or four (or more) local bk attnys.
