If you still owe federal income taxes, they will. But if they don't take it, the chapter 13 trustee gets the tax refund.

You should have listed any income taxes that were dischargeable (due more that 3 years prior to the filing date).

If you filed chapter 13 and had it dismissed and paid of the debt is there any way to get it off of your credit report?

No. Filing a bankruptcy creates a public record that does not go away because you did not complete the bankruptcy. - once you file and get a case number you have filed for bankruptcy. if you didn't follow through and it got dismissed is regardless. you still filed for bankruptcy and it will still be on your credit report.


Can you cosign for a car if you are filing for bankruptcy in the future?

If you are filing for bankruptcy, and you try to cosign -- two things can happen. 1. the lender will turn you down. 2. If the court finds out you have applied for credit the bankruptcy can be stopped. If you mean that the car and loan will be for you during or after the bankruptcy, this still has to be disclosed and again the bankruptcy can be stopped.


Would i still be liable if I don't pay on an unsecured debt after chapter 7 bankruptcy?

You should not have paid any unsecured debt after the chapter 7 was filed. All unsecured debts were discharged. If you made the mistake of continuing regular payments on an unsecured debt after filing, you may have reinstated the debt. If in doubt, consult a local bankruptcy lawyer.

What are th steps to filing chapter 11?

In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the income of the person filing will be subject to a two-part test. First, your income will be calculated with exemptions such as rent and food to determine whether you can afford to pay 25 percent of your unsecured debt such as your credit card bills. Second, your income will be compared to your state's median (middle) income. You won't be allowed to file for Chapter 7 if your income is above your state's median income and you can afford to pay 25 percent of your unsecured debt. Even if your income is below the state's median income and you can pay 25 percent of your unsecured debt, the court may still deny your Chapter 7 filing. There will be very few exceptions to this test, no matter how sympathetic your case is. If you pass the tests then the actual process of filing for bankruptcy will involve filing a two-page bankruptcy petition in which you identify your assets/property/debts etc. You will also meet with a trustee of the bankruptcy court who will go through your papers and conduct a creditors meeting. The process will take about 4-6 months.

What is the means test to file bankruptcy?

One of the first steps you must take when filing for bankruptcy is to complete a "means" test. You must submit the results of this means test to the Bankruptcy Court. The means test checks your income in order to determine your eligibility to file for bankruptcy. If your income is below the average for your state, then you can file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy without any problems. However, if your income is above the state average, the calculations for the means test become more complex. The means test looks at your disposable income (the amount left over after paying your expenses). If your disposable income is too high, the Bankruptcy court may decide that you can pay off at least some of your debts, and prevent you from filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. You are still able to file Chapter 13 bankruptcy, however.

What do you need to know about filing your tax return if you have filed bankruptcy during that year.?

No, you still owe the government. Bankruptcy proceedings begin with the filing of a petition with the bankruptcy court. The filing of the petitions creates a bankruptcy estate, which generally consists of all the assets of the person filing the bankruptcy petition. A separate taxable entity is created if the bankruptcy petition is filed by an individual under chapter 7 or chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The tax obligations of the person filing a bankruptcy petition (the debtor) vary depending on the bankruptcy chapter under which the petition was filed. Generally, when a debt owed to another is canceled the amount canceled or forgiven is considered income that is taxed to the person owing the debt. If a debt is canceled under a bankruptcy proceeding, the amount canceled is not income. However, the canceled debt reduces the amount of other tax benefits the debtor would otherwise be entitled to. This information is not intended to cover bankruptcy law in general, or to provide detailed discussions of the tax rules for the more complex corporate bankruptcy reorganizations or other highly technical transactions. For additional tax information on bankruptcy, refer to Publication 908, Bankruptcy Tax Guide. See http://www.irs.gov/publications/p908/index.html


What can you do about your medical bills you cant pay them and you filed for bankruptcy in 2008 your husband is file on them now but they will still come after you?

Assuming these are medical bills incurred after your Chapter 7 filing and you received a discharge, and they are for medical services for you, not your husband, they will come after you. You should consider filing a chapter 13 to pay them off in whole or in part, depending on your income and expenses. If your husband has a bankruptcy lawyer, he should ask the lawyer. You may consult your own lawyer.

How can a family best dismiss huge unsecured debts and survive on a small income?

The only option for becoming debt free is filing for bankruptcy. A chapter 7 bankruptcy is considered a total liquidation when it pertains to unsecured debts. A chapter 13 is a consolidation BK, in which the debtor is placed on a payment schedule usually 3-5 years for repaying all debts secured and unsecured, according to their priority. With the new bankruptcy laws in effect filing a chapter 7 is a little more difficult than previously, but most people will still qualify under the new regulations.
