Tax refunds?
My friend filed bankruptcy and was discharged Nov,2004. She then realized in 2006 that for many years she had been filing her income tax incorrectly. She had a reassessment of the years 1995-2000 and it was found that she was owed almost $5000.00. This cheque has been sent to her trustee and he says she may not get it back !!! Is this legal and proper procedure?

Unfortunately, any tax refunds from years prior to the bankruptcy become assets that must be divided as specified by the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act.
