Accounts receivable
I have a separate tax bank account that I set up a year ago. When I receive payments from clients I deposit the portion due to state, federal estimated & employee taxes as well as gross receipts. Since I am "saving" it in this account and then paying each quarter or monthly (depending on the tax) How does this get handled in BK? For example, we will be filing in Aug. My quarterly tax payments would be due in Sept. Will the trustee take that money that I have saved to pay taxes. It's not my money--it belongs to the various tax agencies. If the trustee does take this money, do I just go delinquent on that quarters tax? The account was never used for anything other than taxes.

2) Tax issue. People that have funds set aside to pay their income and sales tax must pay those funds prior to filing - or they will lose the $$ to the Trustee. If the funds are paid a little early the Trustee is not likely to go after the tax funds as taxes are a priority debt.
