I filed a chapter 7 and want to know how much of my State or Federal Tax Return the court or trustee will take?

How much of your refund you can keep depends on when you filed bankruptcy, what the source of the refund was, and what exemptions you selected. For example, if you filed bankruptcy on September 1, you need to worry about protecting 3/4ths of your refund, because on September 1, 3/4ths of the year was over. If you filed on December 31, you need to find a way to protect 100% of your refund. Earned income credit is 100% protected from the bankruptcy court, but you have to claim this exemption to take it. Same with the wildcard exemption of $1,000 ($2,000 for a joint filing). You can only use the wildcard that remains after applying it to your other exempt property, so little or none of this exemption may be available.

When you file bankruptcy what happens if I owe money on my home, do I lose my home and how do I go about filing for bankruptcy?

As with any debt financing the purchase of property, you have to make a choice when you file bankruptcy - pay and keep the property, or walk away and owe nothing. The decision is complicated by the fact that the process to foreclose on property is set out by state law and can be quite lengthy. I believe that the best way to go about filing bankruptcy is to consult with a local bankruptcy attorney who will work with you to make sure your concerns are addressed.

Most service is done by first class mail in Bankruptcy...including this one. You just need to serve the amended schedule C on all creditors and file a certificate of service that this is done.
