Will the bankruptcy court take a tax refund after your bankruptcy is discharged?

Usually not. Your bankruptcy petition will ask you for information on whether or not you received a tax refund for the year prior, but they don't usually track you afterwards to find out if you got a refund after your discharge. You are applying for a clean financial slate, and taking away your refund would negate that purpose. If in doubt, check with your bankruptcy attorney for more clarification.


What do you need to know about filing your tax return if you have filed bankruptcy during that year.?

No, you still owe the government. Bankruptcy proceedings begin with the filing of a petition with the bankruptcy court. The filing of the petitions creates a bankruptcy estate, which generally consists of all the assets of the person filing the bankruptcy petition. A separate taxable entity is created if the bankruptcy petition is filed by an individual under chapter 7 or chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The tax obligations of the person filing a bankruptcy petition (the debtor) vary depending on the bankruptcy chapter under which the petition was filed. Generally, when a debt owed to another is canceled the amount canceled or forgiven is considered income that is taxed to the person owing the debt. If a debt is canceled under a bankruptcy proceeding, the amount canceled is not income. However, the canceled debt reduces the amount of other tax benefits the debtor would otherwise be entitled to. This information is not intended to cover bankruptcy law in general, or to provide detailed discussions of the tax rules for the more complex corporate bankruptcy reorganizations or other highly technical transactions. For additional tax information on bankruptcy, refer to Publication 908, Bankruptcy Tax Guide. See http://www.irs.gov/publications/p908/index.html
