The Trustee has a right to take certain portions of your refund. The Trustee can only take the portrion of the refund that is attributable to your income or taxes you paid in. The Trustee cannot take the portion attributale to your husband if he did not file- the Trustee will want to see W-2s so they can determine the difference. Additionally, the Trustee cannot take the portion of the refund that is from Earned Income Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit (but can take the original Child Tax Credit Portion). It is unlikely that the Trustee would persue the refund based on the cicrumstances below but you will need to get your tax return to the Trustee once it is prepared to be sure.
