I believe that the IRS maintains it's right to offset (that is clearly legal/proscribed) and what is being done in something like this, even in cases of BK. Whether that right is absolutely always allowed may be another story...but unlikely it's worth fighting. The money won't go to you. (Otherwise, the refund would probably have to go to the court anyway as a pre petition asset).
if a person files bankrupcy in 2009 can the IRS offset the refund
No limit
Yes, you still have to file your taxes as usual. Any refund will probably be appropriated by the trustee and treated as a nonexempt asset, which will be used for repayment of creditors. Adding As indicated, this is one of your assets and must be disclosed to the creditors committee as something they can use to pay your debts. They will probably ask about it if you don't provide it. They've seen it many times before.
Simply file an amended return - a form 1040 X. Your refund will include interest on the excess.
Certainly. You should have disclosed what you expect from your tax refund in the Statement of Financial Affairs, and you have to turn the refund over to the trustee whether you disclosed it or not. Failing to disclose and failing to turn the funds over to the trustee could get you in serious trouble.
If you owe money to the IRS for prior years taxes, and you have a refund due to you on this year's taxes, the IRS will keep the refund and apply it towards the debt that you owe.
Yes
If you are due a refund for taxes filed for the 2005 tax year, that refund can be siezed to offset the student loan - and every refund after that too.
I believe you pretty much have to.
You have to file your income taxes yearly regardless of whether you have filed for bankruptcy or not. Yes, IRS may garnish your refunds to pay toward your debts. If your bankruptcy is over however, you don't have to worry about that.
If you still owe federal income taxes, they will. But if they don't take it, the chapter 13 trustee gets the tax refund. You should have listed any income taxes that were dischargeable (due more that 3 years prior to the filing date).
No. Everything that happens in a bankruptcy case goes through the (7 or 13) trustee and if the trustee has not acted to get the refund, but has told you it must be sent to him/her, that is your obligation when you receive it. If the trustee did not know about the refund, and you omitted that information from your schedules, you may find your bankruptcy dismissed with prejudice, so you will not be able to re-file it for a while. If you owe the IRS back taxes, they may intercept it. Then it will depend on whether the taxes were or will be discharged. Talk to a lawyer.
I filed my Federal taxes for 2008 and just received a refund and I am in the process of filing bankruptcy this month will that refund be added as income to the bottom line?
Yes, you do. And any tax refund may have to be given to the trustee.
I depends on the type of bankruptcy and your agreement with the trustee/court.
No limit
Yes.
No child and/or spousal support are not dischargeable in a chapter 7 BK. It is my understanding that child support, student loans, taxes owed, and things along that line cannot be included in a bankruptcy.
