List of Forms for Debtors Filing Bankruptcy in CA Not every debtor will need to file all of the following forms in order to receive a bankruptcy discharge. For example, a debtor under Chapter 7 will not be required to file Form B 2300B (Order Confirming Chapter 13 Plan), for obvious reasons. To provide another example, there are many Chapter 7 debtors who choose not to file Form B 103B, which is a voluntary application to have the Chapter 7 filing fee of $335 waived. Likewise, only members of the U.S. Armed Forces need concern themselves with Form B 2020 (Statement of Military Service). Your Chapter 7 bankruptcy lawyer or Chapter 13 bankruptcy attorney will analyze your debts, assets, income, and other factors, such as whether you are filing jointly or individually, in order to determine which forms need to be filed and signed, where, and on what dates. Debtors should keep in mind that failure to submit the necessary documents with complete, accurate, and up-to-date information could cause detrimental delays, or even result in the dismissal of your case by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of California, Sacramento Division. If you are suspected of intentionally submitting incomplete or false information on your bankruptcy papers – for example, intentionally concealing assets or failing to list creditors – you could even be prosecuted for fraud. With that information in mind, California bankruptcy forms include the following documents:
Means Testing Forms
Form B 122A-1 – Chapter 7 Statement of Your Current Monthly Income
Form B 122A-2 – Chapter 7 Means Test Calculation
Form B 122B – Chapter 11 Statement of Your Current Monthly Income
Form B 122C-1 – Chapter 13 Statement of Your Current Monthly Income and Calculation of Commitment Period
Form B 122C-2 – Chapter 13 Calculation of Your Disposable Income It is unusual for individual debtors to file under Chapter 11, which is more commonly used by corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs), and other business entities. However, regardless of whether you are a business owner or simply an individual whose financial circumstances happen to be suited to Chapter 11, our Chapter 11 bankruptcy attorneys can help you through the process.
