Michigan Department of Treasury objected to a protective proof-of-claim for an income tax debt filed on its behalf by debtor, who filed for bankruptcy in January 2009, before the return and payment for the taxes were due. A bankruptcy court overruled the objection, finding that the claim was permitted. The United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan at Grand Rapids affirmed. The Treasury appealed.
