If you receive a tax refund, it may be considered an asset in your bankruptcy case. Depending on the specific circumstances, the trustee may ask for the refund to be applied towards your debt repayment. However, certain exemptions might allow you to retain part or all of your tax refund, depending on the state laws applicable to your case.
