What Information Do I Have to Provide When I File Bankruptcy

    Debtors are required to disclose a variety of information on their bankruptcy petitions, including:

    1. Personal Information: name, address, Social Security number, and employment information.
    2. Financial Information: income, expenses, assets, liabilities, and debts.
    3. Property Information: a list of all assets, including real estate, personal property, and financial accounts.
    4. Creditor Information: a list of all creditors, including their names, addresses, and the amount owed.
    5. Tax Information: the debtor’s tax returns for the past two years, along with any tax debts owed.
    6. Court Proceedings: any prior bankruptcy filings or lawsuits involving the debtor.
    7. Legal Issues: any ongoing legal matters, such as lawsuits, foreclosures, or wage garnishments.

    It is important to be honest and accurate when filling out a bankruptcy petition, as any false statements can result in serious consequences, such as the dismissal of the case or criminal charges.
