What does your attorney say? Your confirmation order? Somewhere in your plan it should state whether income tax refunds are turned in or not. Wanting to apply it to next years taxes doesn't wash with trustees, as it is one way that a debtor could try to get around the "turn over the refund" requirement.

I replied to your question in the thread you created a few minutes ago on this same topic. But yes, they can. What you want to do with the refund doesn't matter, it's what the court has ordered. Ask your attorney if your plan requires refunds to be turned in.
