How soon after filing Ch. 13 can I file my taxes and receive my refund?

Asked almost 3 years ago - San Ramon, CA
Business Business Taxes Tax

There is a garnishment attached to my payroll by the IRS. I am told that filing chapter 13 will stop the penalties and interest. I am due a significant refund from the IRS for 2008 taxes (much needed relief). Will I receive my refund after Ch. 13 is filed or will it go to relieve my tax debt? If I am able to get a tax refund, how long after filing can I file my taxes and receive my refund?

In your Chapter 13 you should have listed your anticipated tax refund as an asset.

Your creditors have the right to lay claim to it.
