If you get a large tax refund shortly before filing bankruptcy can you spend it?
You could, but they will find out about it and if you don't use this money to try and pay creditors then you could be in hot water. I would get some legal advice on this and meanwhile, put that money in an interest bearing account and don't touch it. Marcy * If the refund is received 60 days or less before the filing the entire refund is considered assets that must be included in the BK filing. If it is received more than 60 days before the filing the amount subject to BK is pro-rated.
Should you wait to file chapter 13 after tax refund?
Either way they will want a tax return filed before filing for chapter 13.

If you owe it is better to know the amount before filing.

Can a trustee take your federal tax refund in Missouri if your bankruptcy was discharged before you filed your taxes?
The trustee may be able to take a portion depending upon the amount of the refund and the time frame between the filing or discharge of the BK and the date of the tax return. If a percentage can be ceased it will be pro-rated according to the number of months between the BK discharge and filing of taxes. In a chapter 13, the refund is not ceased but if it is of a considerable amount it may affect the payment amount assigned to the BK. But the money was generated BEFORE you filed for bankruptcy, so it's technically an asset that you already had and as such is to be factored in to the distribution to the creditors.
What is the likelihood that a tax refund will be taken by the trustee during a bankruptcy?
Generally it depends on the type of BK when or if it has been discharged, the amount of the refund, and if it is a federal or state bankruptcy filing. As a rule at least a portion of the refund will be taken by the trustee, more likely the entire amount is subject to relinquishment.

The entire refund amount is seldom seized by the trustee unless the filer exceeds the exception amount established as the "wild card" or other allowable income.
