I filed CH & March 2011. Discharged months later. But after I filed & went through my BK my accountant said he could file from business losses from 2008 & we did so. Now for some reason, my returns of about $4k went to the trustee & she is saying she is entitled to some or all of this return. I filed solo but the old return is for my wife & I as we do our taxes jointly. What is the deal here? Is the trustee entitled to some or all of this return from 2008 that was filed after my ch 7 was discharged in 2011?
It more than likely was already discharged...that is the term for the case ending.

Hi cgrove!
Welcome to forums!
As far as I know, bankruptcy trustees can take income tax refunds more frequently than any other asset of yours. You can protect your income tax refund by claiming it to be exempt. You should contact your bankruptcy attorney and discuss the case with him. He will guide you as to what steps you need to take in this regard.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
