No, the IRS will get to keep it. And, even if you could get it back, the bankruptcy trustee would probably take it to distribute to your creditors.

Can the Federal government take your wifes tax refund for your VA medical debt?
Yes on a Jointly filed return they can. Everyone that signs a tax return is individually and severally responsible for ANY tax due on the return. Having said that there IS a work-around. You have to prepare and submit an Injured Spouse form along with the jointly filed tax return. Then you can get any portion of the refund that would have generated for you if her deficiency was not taken into account.

The credit report entry will state the bankruptcy was filed and dismissed, not discharged.
Irs Phone number to see if your taxes will be withheld for student loans?
I don't know of a phone number that you can call to see if your tax refund will be taken or partially taken for debts such as you mentioned here. The IRS is not the agency that handles this action, it is the Department of the Treasury, but a different department with the Treasury Department. If you have a debt of this type that is listed as delinquent, the odds are that funds will be taken for these debts. Also, if you have a debt of this type you will already know about it. Letters are mailed to people many times who have these debts and whether or not your refund is taken, look at it as a way to get the debt paid. Once debts are paid in full you will no longer have to worry about your refund going toward delinquent debts owed to a Government Agency.

It depends on the courts. I had a friend who went through bankruptcy and was owed a refund from the IRS.

They will just order you to pay it to the trustee.

Tax Refunds and ReturnsThere is no specific protection for tax refunds in bankruptcy. As such, the "wild card" exemption* is used to try to protect these funds as much as possible. Further, any portion of your tax refund that pertains to the "earned income credit" is also fully protect and yours to keep.In a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, you may lose all or part of your tax refund due for the tax year in which you filed your bankruptcy. For example, if you file for bankruptcy in 2009, your Trustee may be entitled to all or part of your 2009 refund, which is due from the tax return that you will be file in 2010.If you file for bankruptcy today, you must provide copies of your tax returns for the years 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, and you may have to provide a copy of your 2009 tax return when it is filed, to the Trustee. In a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, you must also provide copies of your tax returns to your Trustee during the term of your Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. You will generally lose tax refunds during the entire term of your Chapter 13, not including any amount that can be protected by the "wild card".-------* The wildcard exemption is $1,000 per person. It allows you to retain up to $1,000 of assets (cash, accounts, property …) that is not otherwise protected when you file for bankruptcy.

How can creditors size a tax refund check one year after filing chapter 7 bankruptcy?
The answer depends on who the creditor is and the status of the debt. If the debt was a student loan or other non-dischargable debt, then your tax refund can be taken. If the debt WAS discharged, ANY collection action of any kind on a discharged debt is a violation of the permanent injunction of the discharge and therefore illegal. If the creditor was not included on the creditor matrix, then informing them of the bankruptcy and discharge of the debt may be all that is necessary to have the refund returned to you. In other cases it may be necessary to file a Motion for Contempt against the creditor in bankruptcy court. This would require the re-opening of the bankruptcy.
