Normally no. What is most likely to happen is that your bankruptcy will be dismissed for failure to comply with the Trustee's request for the documents.

I agree with Nate; failure to produce the tax refund normally results in dismissal rather than in criminal proceedings. However, if one spouse complied with the trustee's wishes and one spouse did not, the spouse who complied can move to have the case de-consolidated, so that the spouse in compliance still successfully receives discharge and only the non-compliant spouse gets dismissed. The court charges a fee to de-consolidate a case, and the attorney representing the debtors normally charges additional fees for the extra work as well.

Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person.

How do you open a court case?

Court cases are introduced by the plaintiff, whether it's the government in a criminal case or a plaintiff in a civil case. This side of the case is known as the prosecution, who'll actually bring a case into court. The other side of the court case is the side that answers the charges for which the case is brought into court. This is known as the defense. In either case, the charges are introduced to the clerk's office of the property division of the court in order to commence criminal or civil action.

What is the difference between a true bill and a no true bill?

At common law, and in many states, a grand jury can return charges in either of two ways. One is to vote on a set of charges submitted by a prosecutor; these charges are contained in a proposed indictment, and if the grand jurors decide there is probable cause to support the charges, they vote a "true bill," that is, they vote to return the indictment and initiate a criminal proceeding. If the grand jurors decide there is not probable cause to support the charges, or that the charges should not be pursued for other reasons, they vote a "no true bill," which means the indictment is not returned and no criminal case ensues.
