Is there a time limit from the filing of your petition in a chapter 7 and when a trustee can take the tax return you receive the following year?
As long as the case is open..he has a right to assets. Now, there seems to be some leeway on how tax refunds are handled...but it should be relevant to when the tax was overpaid. So, say you made the same salary through the year, and filed BK on March 31. If at the end of the year (return filing 4/15 of following year) you have $1000 of refund, only 1 quarter (the 1/1 to 3/31 period) is prepetition overpaid and really available for creditors (logically, had you not put it on deposit at the IRS, it would have been used to pay the debts), and therefore $750 should be kept by you and $250 held by the BK. Obviously, uneven earnings through the year and such can make the calculation more intricate...but that should be the direction you want to go.
