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

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jeffrey P. Heineman (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Heineman Law Office
On the Federal Means Test you would use the amount of income that you earned for the six full months prior to the month that you file, but you would also deduct your business expenses as well. From you description of yearly tax returns, you should not give rise to the presumption of being a Chapter 13. The second part of the test is to see if you have anything remaining when you subtract your regular monthly expenses (both business and personal) from your regular monthly income. It sounds like you will be a Chapter 7.

Can he file bankruptcy if the loan is in his mane only but I am half-owner on the deed?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Margaret L. Evans (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Margaret L. Evans, PC
He can certainly file bankruptcy and whether or not the home will be seized by trustee (and subsequently sold to pay creditors) will depend on the amount of equity in the home and what he can exempt. For example, if the home is worth $100K, but the loan balance is $125K, then that does not present a problem because there is no equity to exempt. However, if the loan balance is $75K, he'd only be able to exempt 1/2 of the equity ($12,500.00) and your portion of the equity would be subject to the trustee taking it to sell for proceeds to pay the creditors.*
