Potential Tax Refund

[bent]

I had a business loss in a prior year but I have not filed my personal income tax amendment to reflect this on my return. There is probably going to be a good refund, but I don't know exactly how much right now.

I want to file for Chapter 7 petition (California) in the near future because of personal guarantees I had made with the failed business mentioned above. Being that I haven't filed this amendment yet, should I file it now, or file it later when the Chapter 7 petition is filed? or should I file after it is discharged?

If I file the return amendment after I file Chapter 7, what are the potential consequences?

Thanks,

Ben

File the amendment now and then, see if your attorney can exempt any refund.
If they can't, delay the bk filing until you spend the refund down.
