This Q has been pushed around a lot here...and this is what I've pieced together: It depends...a bit on which circuit court your in and how they feel...and expecially how much is involved...(obviously large amounts are wanted for creditors...and it just seems unfair for you to not pay someone your debt, because you didn't have the money, because you had too much withheld or prepaid...when the amount withheld/prepaid is controllable and returned to you!) The other aspect is when you filed compared to when you made your money...If the overpaid tax is for a pre-petition filing period...most trustees want it...but if it really isn't then it's yours. So say it's a refund for the year and you filed BK in December.....well it was basically all withheld as part of the Jan-Dec period in your filing...and it part of the BK...but if you filed in say March...well not much of it is really from the covered BK period. Sort of makes sense.
You have three years from the filing deadline to file your income tax return to receive your refund. Taxes for 2007 were due on April 15th 2008. You have until April 15th 2011 to file to receive a refund. Never if you have a tax liability.
Yes. You can actually file for a refund for the current year and two years previous. Right now you can file for a refund on tax years 2008, 2009, and 2010. You can also file for a refund on 2007 if and only if you filed for an extension in 2007 which gives you until October 15th to file for the 2007 refund. If you did not file an extension in 2007 then your time to request a refund expired on April 15th.
You file your return, like everyone else, and if you owe money you pay it and if you have a refund coming, you receive it.
It is not possible to get refund unless we file the income tax returns. When we file returns it will check with OLTAS and generate refund if paid excess
Do you like having money? The earlier you file, the earlier you get your refund cash.
If the debtor is entitled to receive an income tax refund or a similar nonexempt asset in the near future, he or she should not file under chapter 7 until after the refund or asset has been received and disposed of. Otherwise, the refund or asset will become the property of the trustee.
There are penalties for failing to file that will need to be taken into account. You need to consult with a tax accountant in your area.
April 15th.
You file your return, like everyone else, and if you owe money you pay it and if you have a refund coming, you receive it.
If you filed a Chapter 7 and it has been discharged your tax refund will not be taken. It will only be taken if you have filed a Chapter 13 and that is entirely up to the Trustee.
Not necessarily. Whether or not you receive a refund depends on your taxable income and how much you paid the government during the fiscal year. Nothing else guarantees that you get a refund.
If you do an EZ File for your taxes, then ideally you will get your refund at a faster rate. This is because you will submit it electronically and the IRS will receive it almost instantly.
