Tax and Bankruptcy in Richmond County GA

The individual debtor, normally must file income tax returns for the period of the bankruptcy case. You must not include on your return, the income, deductions, or credits belonging to the separate bankruptcy estate. Also you should not include as income on your return, the debts forgiven as a result of bankruptcy. However, the bankruptcy estate should reduce certain losses, credits, and the basis in property to the extent of these items by the amount of forgiven debt.

Certain deduction and credit carryovers and decisions that you made in earlier years are taken over by the bankruptcy estate if you file for bankruptcy. These are carryovers of deductions, losses, and credits, your method of accounting, and the basis and holding period of assets. These are referred to as tax attributes.

When the estate is terminated, you assume any remaining tax attributes that were taken over by the estate and generally assume any attributes arising during the administration of the estate.
