No, the trustee did receive our tax refund and the national data base shows that it was received, but instead of reducing our base, it increased it by the amount of the refund. My attorney said that this was normal. . .
Your attorney is correct. You were using the government to save money. That money belongs to your creditors and is in addition to your monthly payments. Depending upon your district you will be required to turnover all tax refunds received during your Chapter 13 or change your withholding and increase your Plan payments accordingly as those refunds are a diversion of disposable income.
