First of all, let me say thanks to all the posters on this board. I have learned so much on this forum. I had my 341 in Tampa, Fl today @ 4:30 pm. We arrived about 45 mins. early. It was vey informal. The trustee sat at her desk in a room with about 25 chairs. Each case when called sat her desk to be interviewed. It was pretty painless, just normal questions, but she was very interested in tax refunds. She asked how much we received last year which was about $3400.00. She then asked if any of it was from earned income credit. I said I think a small part of it was but the largest part was child tax credit. She then said she wold hold the case open until she received 2005 tax returns. She also wanted a copy of 2004 returns and Oct. bank statements.
Okay, my atty advised me to change our exemptions so less is held out of our check so I did the day after filing. Is it not going to look funny to her that our refund is about half of what is was last year? Since Oct. 4, our filing date, no fed taxes are being taken out. Is this okay for us too do? I do not want my case dismissed over my tax refund. Also, when I said a small part of my tax refund was earned income credit I was wrong. It was only child tax credit. I was so nervous I could not remember hardly anything. Should I be worried? I did not mislead her intentionly. My biggest worry is that my Oct. bank statement will show the difference of income after the filing date because of the exemptions being changed. Thanks for any advise. Sorry so long, I am still wired from the 341!
