Bankruptcy Court – Richmond County Georgia Law Firm
By filing for bankruptcy, you are technically placing the property you own and the debts you owe in the hands of the bankruptcy court. You can’t sell or give away any of the property you own when you file, or pay off your pre-filing debts, without the court’s consent. However, with a few exceptions, you can do what you wish with property you acquire and income you earn after you file for bankruptcy.
The bankruptcy court has the authority to determine the amount or legality of any tax imposed on the debtor or the estate, including any fine, penalty, or addition to tax, whether or not the tax was previously assessed or paid but does not have the authority to determine the amount or legality of a tax, fine, penalty, or addition to tax that was contested before and finally decided by a court or administrative tribunal of competent jurisdiction before the date of filing the bankruptcy petition. The bankruptcy court does not have authority to decide the right of the bankruptcy estate to a tax refund until the trustee of the estate properly requests the refund from the Internal Revenue Service and either the Service determines the refund or 120 days pass after the date of the request.
