PLEASE TELL WHY!? - If you're getting a refund, file it BEFORE you declare bankruptcy. If you're filing a chapter 7 it probably will not make any difference either way.
If you're filing a chapter 13, then you are ordered by the court to turn over all refunds from taxes to the custodian of the chapter 13 bankruptcy case for the next 5 years. If you fail to do so, they can cancel your bankruptcy protection. -
