In re Gartman
Debtor filed for chapter 7 relief. Debtor did not disclose any possible tax refunds due to him in his original Schedule B filed with the petition. Debtor also did not inform the trustee prior to the meeting of creditors that he was entitled to a tax refund or that his Schedule B was incorrect. Debtor filed an amended Schedule C, seeking a $900.00 exemption for an anticipated tax refund. The trustee filed an objection to debtor's claim.
Ruling:
Debtor could not amend schedules to seek exemption for tax refund previously concealed in bad faith.
