Why did my refund decrease when I added another W2?

When you added another W2, your refund may have decreased because the additional income from the second job pushed you into a higher tax bracket, resulting in more taxes owed and a smaller refund.

Your federal refund decreased when you added another W2 because having multiple W2s can increase your total income, which may push you into a higher tax bracket and reduce the amount of refund you receive.

Do you have to forfiet your income tax return if you file chapter 13 bankruptcy?

You made an interest-free loan of your money to the IRS and obviously did not need the income that represents. You are not "forfeiting" your refund. It will be added to your plan payments and may permit more of your debts to be paid pro rata - after the trustee gets his/her cut - or shorten the term of the plan if you have a 100% plan.


A medical bill you owe can it affect your tax refund?

Yes, as you can't claim it as an expense unless it has been paid, therefore it can't be added to a deduction against income, which will effect anyone's refund.


If a chapter 13 bankruptcy has not been discharged can a creditor be added?

The bankruptcy is not discharged, the debts are. A creditor can be added if the plan is not too far along or if you have the excess income to pay whatever the creditors are being paid (percent of debt) for the balance of the plan. If it is a post-filing debt, it cannot be added.

Can you file bankruptcy to pardon debt for owing back income taxes?

You can discharge income tax debt in bankruptcy only under certain circumstances. The rules are discussed in IRS Publication # 908. I have added a link to the one from 2009, but check with your tax adviser for any updates.


Added 2200 to your medical expense deduction and refund did not increase?

The 2200 amount that was added as a medical expense deduction on the schedule A itemized deduction of the 1040 federal income tax return did NOT INCREASE your itemized deductions amount enough to reduce your taxable income amount on page 2 line 43 of the 2009 1040 income tax return. So it did not reduce your income tax liability amount that is on page 2 line 44 and that would be the reason that you did not have any INCREASE in your refund amount.
