If I am self employed, what income will they use for bankruptcy, my 1099 or my income tax return?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Kenneth A. Parker, PC
In order to file a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, you must pass the means test. The initial look at the means test is a "Gross" look. This means looking at?your income over the past 6 months without taking any deductions.?If you fail the means test by the "Gross" look, we can take a look at the "Net",?which means we can look at your Gross income and deduct certain items from your Gross income. Since you receive a 1099, we also need to look at bank statements and ask some questions such as do you have a company or are you a 1099 employee?

Your questions are far too complicated to answer without more information. Talk to your bankruptcy attorney. If you do not have one then see if your local bankruptcy court has a self-help center.

Can you file Chapter 13 Bankruptcy if you have $20,000 in a savings account?

Answered by attorney Kevin W. Bruning (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Bruning & Associates, P.C.
A chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to keep your assets while making monthly payments to a trustee, who will pay off all or a portion of your debts; at the end of the repayment time, which can be anywhere from 3 to 5 years, you can get a discharge of any of the remaining debts. If you have $20,000 in savings, you will probably be required to pay at least that much the trustee over the 3 to 5 year time span. It may be more, depending on what other property you own and whether it is exempt. You should work with a qualified bankruptcy attorney to determine the best option for you.
