State taxes filed on a chapter 7

As far as I know taxes are not dischargeable.....

Do you have any other outstanding debts to the state? Court fines, traffic tickets, etc..?

What state are you in?
Which tax refund was intercepted-state or fed?

Also if you owe a balance to a state college or university and they sent it to the AG of your state for collections, they can take your state refund. That happened to me this year :(

You should receive a letter explaining what they kept your money for. I know the IRS kept money our of our tax return to finish paying off back taxes we owed (and were paying on) and the town where we live kept part of our state over an old utility billed that we had been fighting them over since we moved! (Charge someone over $500 when they were only someplace for less than 1/2 month and the utilities were suppose to be off and out of our name after that!)

Dang...didn't finish before I hit submit...anyway what I was trying to say is that we got letters from both the state and federal stating why some of our tax return was witheld.

I know that over 10 years ago (thats when I filed) you could not discharge taxes that you owed.

Not gonna happen...
The BK laws themselves prevent government debt from being discharged. So even though your BK was discharged, the taxes were not. You would think they need to file some claim, or a motion to object to the dischargeability of the debt. However, by virtue of taxes being non-dischargeable by operation of law, the government does not need to do anything special to keep them from being discharged.

If you want to know what your taxes are being withheld for, you can call the IRS and ask them. They can answer whatever questions you might have.

can the government collect a debt from a revolving account that is more than 10 years old ?

My attorney talked me into filing Chapter 13 to take care of back taxes. She said the older years could be filed on but not the current. This did not happen. I am still in a payment plan taking care of these back taxes from when I was self employed and have a C-13 on my credit. Who can you trust? This has caused a long-term black cloud.

The government can pretty much collect any debt owed to them...they are after all the government
