Tax Refunds While Waiting for Discharge

[LynnD]

Had 241 in early January and date of last objection is mid March. Trustee does not want tax refund so I'm ok there as far as filing and getting a refund BUT one of my creditors is the IRS for back owed taxes (2002). Should I wait until after mid March when I'm completely discharged or would I be safe to file my taxes AND get my refund without them garnishing it?

Thanks :-)

Hi Lynn,

If the back taxes were discharged, prudent course would be to wait until the discharge. Even then I can see the IRS not getting it right and you having to put the discharge order under their nose.....

If the back taxes were not dischargeable it won't matter.
