Will filing for Bankruptcy have any effect on my income tax return/refund?

Question

Thanks

Answer 1

It depends. If you have a refund or rebate due you when you file, it's part of your assets and therefore controlled by the bankruptcy court. If you file your return after filing for bankruptcy, you may or may not receive it depending on what chapter you filed under. You would in a chapter 7, and might in a chapter 13 if the plan allows it.  

Answer 2

No

Answer 3

It will depend when you file.  Your refund is an asset.  If you filed today, you are not entitled to any refund so no asset.
