Tax Refund Question

[insomniac]

Hey Guys,

Just got my tax refund (fed and state) deposited into my account. I checked with my attourney on whether or not I should be turning this over to my trustee. They stated that we can keep the state but surrender the federal. Is this typically the case? I had expected that we would have to turn over the entire amount. We're in GA if that helps.

There is absolutely no consistency across the country regarding trustee expectations about what to do with tax refunds during a Ch 13.

If your trustee did not give you specific instructions about what to do, then you will have to ask your lawyer how your trustee typically handles the tax refunds of his 13 filers.
