It is now coming to the time to have my taxes filed.
My current employer has taken off extra taxes in 2009 to ensure that I would not owe money at the end of the year. If a refund is determined for either the Federal and/or Provincial (Quebec) return, will I actually be getting that refund or is it withheld?

Thank you!

Answer: While there may be differences in individual cases, as a general rule you will lose your tax refund for the year of the bankruptcy, so you should assume you will not receive your tax refund for 2009.

Your bankruptcy trustee can provide you with specific information on your case.

Answer: The short answer is that filing personal bankruptcy in Montreal does not affect your spouse, provided you have no joint debts with them.

The longer answer is that if you have joint debts, they are responsible for those debts once you go bankrupt.
