In a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in Missouri, any portion of your tax refund attributable to the Earned Income Tax Credit or Additional Child Care Tax Credit is entirely excused before you acquire your tax refund. However, it is important to know after you have gotten your refund the Chapter 7 Trustee has the ability to take that money. It is also important to keep in mind that in the case that you spend that money before filing your case, the Trustee will ask for an itemization to find out the way in which you spent that money. If you feel you need to pay back a relative or friend that has been there for you, consider the fact that if you file a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy that might not be possible without the Trustee attempting to take back the money from them. The Trustee has the ability to take that money after it has been put in your account, so you will have a harder time saving up money as well.
