What are some of the reluctance of the first and 2nd estates to eliminate there tax exemption?
The first and second estates, comprising the clergy and nobility, were reluctant to eliminate their tax exemptions due to their entrenched privileges and the fear of losing power and influence. They believed that maintaining these exemptions was essential for preserving their social status and financial security, which could be threatened by a more equitable tax system. Additionally, both estates often viewed the proposed reforms as an attack on their traditional rights and privileges, leading to resistance against any changes that would diminish their advantages in society.

Is there a way to claim a tax refund as personal property on schedule B and then as an exemption on schedule C?
The answer to this question depends on State law. Each State has its own exemptions (except for those States which have elected to utilize the federal exemptions), so it depends on what exemptions the State in which you live allows. In Indiana, each person has a $100.00 cash exemption (which is the exemption you have to use for tax refunds in Indiana), so I normally list an anticipated tax refund on Schedule B #17, and then I exempt $100.00 of the amount on Schedule C (per the Indiana cash exemption). The debtor then gets the first $100.00, and the trustee can take the tax refund check over the $100.00 that is exempted. In the case of a joint filing, Indiana allows you to protect $200.00 ($100.00 per debtor). As a practical matter, most trustees in Indiana won't seize a tax refund check even if it is worth more than the $100.00 (or $200.00) exemption if it is less than $1,000.00, since most trustees don't want to bother liquidating anything smaller than $1,000.00. Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person.

Can creditors take your federal income tax refund?
Tax refunds can only be seized for tax arrearages and/or child support arrearages, they are not subject to attachment by a judgment creditor. Obviously if the refund is deposited in the debtor's bank account a judgment creditor can levy that account and seize any and/or all funds necessary to pay the judgment. The exception is monies that can be proven to belong to a joint account holder who is not the debtor, and monies considered exempt, such as SS, SSI, SSD. However, each state has a minimum exempt amount for bank accounts that cannot be seized by creditors. But you have to go to court and ask to protect it. It's not tiny, either. In Virginia, for example, the first $5,000 in the bank can be exempted from seizure by a creditor. Maryland exempts $6,000. This is not a bankruptcy exemption, it's a general exemption from attachment by a judgment creditor.
Do you pay capital gains tax if you roll the profit into a new home?
The law changed in 1997. Before that, you had to buy a new home to avoid capital gains tax. The law no longer cares what you do with the money from the sale of the old home. If the house was your main home for two of the previous five years and you owned the home for two of the previous five years, the first $250,000 in capital gains is exempt from tax. The exemption increases to $500,000 if you file jointly and it was also the main home of your spouse for two of the previous five years.
