Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Florida

Re: Notifying Bankruptcy caseworker of taxes being paid

Yes. the refund is an asset of the estate.

Re: Notifying Bankruptcy caseworker of taxes being paid

Maybe. That is a question for your bankruptcy lawyer, who will know the status of the case, timing, and what the scehdules reflect. As for "why," (if you need to amend), it is because your right to a refund is property of your estate that you may or may not be entitled to exempt or retain. Check with your lawyer.

Re: Notifying Bankruptcy caseworker of taxes being paid

There is no such thing as a bankruptcy caseworker. There is a Trustee, who works for the Justice Department. If you falsely stated in your schedules that you were not due a refund and you were, you may have committed perjury. Your lawyer is whom you paid to handle your case, so speak to him right away to determine what, if anything, you should do.
