Once you file for bankruptcy, you will probably not get anything back. When you are through, it could all be over. Then they will stop getting anything else from you. You get a clean start.
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.
No. But it could possibly depend on whether or not the BK was accepted. Dependent on how much the refund was and what it was used for. In general, only the assets that you have at the time you file are included, not monies already spent. No, But if you file, next year you will possabily have to pay half of your tax money. Why would I have to pay half of my tax money on next years taxes?
You can file bankruptcy at any time you like, but I will tell you that bankruptcy court does not have the authority to drop the taxes. The IRS or State may allow a payment plan instead of allowing them to begin confiscating property. You will still have to pay the taxes due and it may be to your benefit to work out a payment plan directly with tax department and not have to pay the legal and court fees involved with the bankruptcy.
An example of a tax on consumption would be a sales tax. A sales tax is a tax paid for the sales of goods and services. A consumption tax, it is a tax on something used or "consumed." A sales tax is a good example. Europe has a value added tax which is the same idea.
No. Bankruptcy has no impact on your duty to pay sales tax are purchases made after you file for bankruptcy.
No
You cannot combine tax id numbers of different companies into one, to file bankruptcy.

Tax Refunds and ReturnsThere is no specific protection for tax refunds in bankruptcy. As such, the "wild card" exemption* is used to try to protect these funds as much as possible. Further, any portion of your tax refund that pertains to the "earned income credit" is also fully protect and yours to keep.In a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, you may lose all or part of your tax refund due for the tax year in which you filed your bankruptcy. For example, if you file for bankruptcy in 2009, your Trustee may be entitled to all or part of your 2009 refund, which is due from the tax return that you will be file in 2010.If you file for bankruptcy today, you must provide copies of your tax returns for the years 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, and you may have to provide a copy of your 2009 tax return when it is filed, to the Trustee. In a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, you must also provide copies of your tax returns to your Trustee during the term of your Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. You will generally lose tax refunds during the entire term of your Chapter 13, not including any amount that can be protected by the "wild card".-------* The wildcard exemption is $1,000 per person. It allows you to retain up to $1,000 of assets (cash, accounts, property …) that is not otherwise protected when you file for bankruptcy.

Yes. They must be included. All debts and all assets must be included. IRS income tax debts can only be discharged, however, if the amount of tax due was determined 3 years prior to filing the bankruptcy.
Absolutely. The filing of bankruptcy does not alter your obligation to report and file taxes, except perhaps to make it more nessasary. The IRS is a creditor, your return is what will be used to determine how much they have a right to file a claim for. If you do not file, they will either determine your tax....(a bad thing)...and file a claim, or you may not relieve the tax in bankruptcy and be liable in the future. Agreeably, you may have losses, and not have a tax or income to pass to the shareholders...but you would have a loss to pass on.
You will pay the sales tax in Missouri. However, Kansas may charge a "use tax" (equal to the sales tax) for items brought in from out-of-state. This is common among all the states; when you file your state income tax, you must declare items purchased from out-of-state and pay the tax.
Yes, you do. And any tax refund may have to be given to the trustee.
If your business is a separate corporation or entity, no.
There is no wait period.
