[CLBS] Tax refund issue

[Aaron Tolson]

I had a client who filed taxes and got a 500 refund per the tax return, so
the trustee wanted it turned over and debtor sent a personal check in
before getting the actual refund, because the letter from the trustee was
"scary."  So then the IRS wrote a letter back and said the accountant made
an error on the taxes and debtor actually owes $500 instead so no refund is
coming.

So does:
1.  The trustee have to return the money;
2.  If not, does the accountant owe the money back to debtor, which is then
property of the estate because the claim is rooted in the pre-bankruptcy
past.
