Yes. The IRS is above the bankruptcy court.
It isn't the IRS that is taking the refund, it is the Treasury Dept because the home loan was government subsidized. Crossvillegal 10 months ago .
They are probably above the bankruptcy court, too.
If they are linked, you might be in trouble. Chances are good they are NOT linked. But in the final analysis - it is what it is.
If you are due a refund - go for it.
While the IRS gets paid first, the IRS is also able to cooperate with others who must be paid. Get used to it, as no one cares why you owe money, only that they get the money you owe them.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
