When you file for bankruptcy, you have to think carefully about how it will impact your finances. For many people, filing for bankruptcy helps immensely because it does away with a lot of the debts that are crushing them. Sometimes, the best thing that you can do is wipe the slate clean and turn over a new financial leaf.

As income tax season approaches, some people who have debts might be interested in paying them off using a refund they expect to receive. One thing to remember is that your creditors can’t force you to pay anything from your taxes to them. These are private debts that don’t lead to the creditor garnishing your tax return. However, they can get a court order that puts a levy on the bank account where you have the direct deposit routed.
