You should wait until your refund is received and be sure to spend it on necessities or items that would be exempt anyway. Never file right before a large refund is due, the trustee will take it and apply it to your debt. In some cases you might have to wait to file Chapter 7 for quite a few months in order to protect your refund. For instance, if you feel the pressure to file in the fall, but are expecting a refund after the new year that would be a span of up to four or five months. Is it worth it to wait? Some people can't take the creditors hounding them an extra few months. Those persons might be better off just giving up the refund to the trustee.
