Each year you are in the Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you will have to send a copy of your complete FEDERAL and STATE tax returns to the Trustee's office. I prefer that you send your copy to the law office instead, so that I have a copy as well as the Trustee. Please mail a copy to my attention at the law firm address at the top of the page.

Depending on your specific bankruptcy case, you may have to turn over your tax refund check to the Ch. 13 Trustee. This may be for only the first year in your bankruptcy, or for all years. The amount you have to turn over is dependent on your specific case. Please consult with your attorney before you spend any tax refunds while you are in the bankruptcy.
