Have a question that I can't answer for a client since my bankruptcy knowledge is limited and is something I really don't handle. His wife filed alone a few years ago and is just starting her 3rd year of a 5 year plan. Apparently this years refund is going to be greater than the other years since his wife got a new job and now has more fed taken out than she did with her new job ( filing jtly) In the past he has asked me about his refunds and I told him since they were making about 20,000 less than her docs indicated she was making when she filed , I didn't see how they would take their refund and so far they didn't. But this year the refund is probably going to be around 4500 instead of 3000 due to college credits and the wife's deductions actually being taken out properly instead of way under before with old job. They also made about 2000 less than last year but the refund went up, don't know how but I can only assume the wife's new job is taking out the right fed deduction not like old job that barely took out anything.
He comes to me to ask since he doesn't want to get on the trustees radar and would rather just buzz along unnoticed, and doesn't want to pay his former attorney insead, comes to me for free advice , which I don't really know.
Any thoughts. Again, If she is about 20,000 under from what thery said she made at the time of the filing and 2000 less than last year, I feel he is safe.
