Dewey, AZ asked in Bankruptcy for Arizona

Q: I filed chapter 7 in April 2018, discharged in July. Irs kept most of refund for back taxes, but I owe trustee 1200.00

Can they keep all of my refund this year or just 1200.00 owed to trustee?

Trustee office said they'd ask trustee for a repayment plan in October 2019, but I've had no response and have sent them many emails asking. I'm expecting a big refund and wondering if they're keeping it all
