Will IRS send your refund if you filed Bankruptcy and they were included?

I owed the IRS and was making payments, however, my husband and I could no longer pay bills and our house note too, therefore, when we went to do a chapter



13 we were told we should do a chptr 7. IRS was included. Now that we are doing our taxes we see that we will be getting a small refund. Will IRS send us our refund or apply it to our balance owed, even though it is in the bankruptcy. Yes the bankruptcy is open...

Assuming that all of your outstanding tax debt was eligible to be discharged in bankruptcy (not all tax debt is eligible); and the bankruptcy court ruling discharged that debt; and notice was sent to the IRS.... you should get your refund.
