Case No.: 20-11340-EPK 

Chapter: 13 

DEBTOR’S MOTION TO PAY INTEREST ON DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURYINTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE’S PRIORITY CLAIM 

COMES NOW, the Debtor, LESLEE CHESLOW (“DEBTOR”), by and through 

undersigned counsel, files this Motion to pay interest on the Department of the Treasury – Internal 

Revenue Service’s (“IRS”) priority claim, and in support thereof state as follows: 

1. The IRS is owed a priority tax claim as set forth in claim number 1. The IRS takes the 

position that interest accrues on said amount over the Chapter 13 Plan period and that the accrued 

interest in non-dischargeable. 

2. The accrual of said non-dischargeable interest severely hamper Debtor’s ability to 

effectually reorganize and jeopardizes a fresh start. As a result, Debtor seeks to pay the IRS interest 

on its priority claim through the bankruptcy plan as set forth in its claim at a rate of 5% (or as 

provided in an amended claim). 

3. The undersigned counsel requests attorney fees and costs of $500.00 as a result of filing 

this motion. 

WHEREFORE, Debtor respectfully requests the entry of an order: (1) allowing Debtor to pay 

the IRS interest of 5% on any priority claim amount through any Chapter 13 plan (including 

amended or modified plans); (2) approving $500.00 in attorney’s fees/costs; and (3) any further 

order this Court deems just and proper.
