I suppose you could, but even if you did manage to get the financing together to open another business, any profits from it would be subject to seizure by the court and the bankruptcy trustee to pay off the bankruptcy judgement.

Yes. I filed for that reason alone. I signed a lease for a business. I was told I had to sign a personal guarantee. I had to file a personal BK because of it.

Will you get your tax refund if you file for bankruptcy?

Whether you are entitled to your tax refund will depend on what type of Chapter of bankruptcy you are filing and whether the bankruptcy exemptions can be used to protect the tax refund. If you are filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy then you can generally keep the refund if the available state bankruptcy exemptions provide protection for it. If you are in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy you are typically required to turn over the tax refunds during the life of the Chapter 13 case.

If you do not owe the IRS will your refund been taken if you file bankruptcy?

It depends on the courts. I had a friend who went through bankruptcy and was owed a refund from the IRS. The trustee for the bankruptcy ordered her to turn over the refund to the courts to be paid out to creditors. So it could happen, but they cannot actually intercept or offset your refund. They will just order you to pay it to the trustee.


Do have to file taxes if you are filing bankruptcy?

Yes, you do. And any tax refund may have to be given to the trustee.
