Question

ONLY Wife filed Chap 13 in Nevada. Tax refund check for $2100 is joint, SO, who gets the refund?

Answer 1

You should call a tax Attorney.  If U cant afford one call your District Attorney they are there to help U.

Answer 2

You should file an injured spouse form, if her Chapter 13 involved income taxes.  That will make it certain that you get refund due, as well as stimulus check.

Answer 3

It's in joint names so it's joint property.  She may be ordered to surrender her share of it, however, depending upon where she is with the Chapter 13.

Answer 4

Does her Chapter 13 plan specify what happens to federal tax returns? In some plans the debtor keeps it entirely or up to a certain amount. In others the plan gets the entire amount.

Answer 5

Well if it is in both your names you both do!

Duh!
