    Question on providing info to the US trustee

    Filed ch 7 early November, slightly over median income with my wife's steady job and 2 years ago (with another person who is majority owner) I started a business that has only lost money for 24 months and has failed.

    According to my attorney, the US Trustee "doesn't believe I have made no money in the last 6 months" and wants me to provide 6 months Profit and Loss statements for any businesses I have been involved in.

    Do I incur the expense of asking the principal owner to go to his accountant and have a 6 month P&L prepared - basically something that will look official? If so, who pays for this, it will cost approx $100 or so.

    Or, do I just get the info from the principal and put it on a simple spreadsheet myself?

    The 341 is next week, will there be a problem if I can only get them the info the day before the 341?

    Does this request from the US trustee imply any additional scrutiny from the Panel Trustee?

    (I asked all of these questions of my attorney, but have not heard back) - I really appreciate being a part of this forum.

    If it only cost a $100 to get a spread sheet from an accountant, I'd do that ASAP.
    It sure could delay your 341 and discharge if the trustee doesn't have time to examine the spread sheet before the scheduled 341.
    No way any of us can tell if it means any interest from the UST.

      I agree with Keepmine, have the accountant prepare the profit and loss statement.

        Thank you SunshineGal and Keepmine. I will have the accountant do it, and I will pay for it, but, it will not be ready until the day before the 341. This request comes from the US Trustee, not my panel trustee, so, hopefully this will not delay the 341 or anything else. Is it likely to cause a delay since I will not be able to get it to my attorney until the day before, and then I can only HOPE he is not too busy to get it to the US Trustee without delay.
