Question: I filed chapter 7 in Indiana in 2008. Does the trustee have the right to take my tax return?

I received a letter saying that any return i receive after the date of filing including 2008 is the property of my bankruptcy estate. I don’t get it. I payed all the attorney fees upfront and it was discharged in August 2008. Isn’t me turning over my return the same as paying back the debt that was discharged?

Answer: Bankruptcy judges have broad authority, including taking any payments you may get to give to your creditors. The money owed you is one of your assets.

Question: What is the best way to report tax evasion?

I have tried contacting the IRS and the state taxation department about a serious tax cheat who is hoarding over $100,000 of taxable money to a secret offshore account in the Bahamas. He brags that he doesn’t need to pay taxes and that he won’t get caught.

I contacted the IRS tax evasion unit in Fresno, California but they did nothing. Same thing with the state tax cheat department.

My question is:

(1) Should I report the tax cheat to my county prosecutor/district attorney’s office?

(2) What proof do I need to provide?

(3) Are there any other places that I should call or write to report him? I know he hires illegal aliens to work in his business.
I have sent letters to the IRS yet the person is getting away with murder. He bought a new Mercedes and drives it around town. It seems that the IRS and state are not doing anything.

Answer: 1. How do you know that they did nothing? The IRS will not let you in on what is going on. He may already be on their radar screen, and no, they would not tell you that.

2. What EVIDENCE of tax evasion do you have? The IRS will not act upon hearsay. If you were his bookkeeper and had first hand knowledge of what was going on along with documentary evidence of the movement of money they would be interested. There are lots of blowhards who brag about not paying taxes but actually do. (I know, as I prepare a couple of their returns!)
