Wisconsin Bankruptcy Law

Many people avoid the personal bankruptcy filing process until after they receive a tax refund check for fear that they might lose the refund. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing does not affect your tax refund eligibility.  The Bankruptcy Court does not intercept those funds.  With the Chapter 13 bankruptcy, however, there is a possibility that you will need to provide half of whatever refund you receive to the Trustee as a part of your plan.  Not all cases require this, however.  If you are interested in filing a Chapter 13 and are concerned about your refund, we can certainly determine what your plan would entail during our free consultation.
