As many Americans use their refunds to purchase expensive electronics or long-awaited vacations, the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) found that more than 200,000 households use their tax refunds to file bankruptcy. This spike in bankruptcy filings towards the first part of the year has been attributed to the increased cost of filing, after U.S. bankruptcy laws changed in 2005. Families have been forced to delay filing until they can afford to pay the fees, according to the NBER.
Since changes to the law in 2005, the average cost of legal and administrative fees jumped from $921 in 2005 to $1,477 just two years later, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office. The law was changed to prevent bankruptcy abuse. It was thought that too many people who could afford to pay their debts were taking advantage of the system. Since then, fewer people have filed for bankruptcy, but that does not mean these changes have reduced abuse of the system. The people who really need bankruptcy are the ones who are unable to afford the filing fees.
Last year the average tax refund was $3,096, enough for many distressed Americans to file for bankruptcy and get the necessary help they need.
