New National Standards for '08

[lrprn]

And since no one has filed after the 1st yet with these new laws...

The bankruptcy law is the same, only some of the bk forms and some of the IRS values that are plugged into some of the forms have changed. The law ties the values to the IRS values - one of the most stupid changes forced on us in 2005 when the current bk law went into effect.

BK is an insane game.

It is when big creditor companies and their lobbyists were allowed to draft much of the current bk law and then flood Congress with money and false propaganda about only cheaters filing back in 2004 and 2005 to get it passed.

The law's writers tied the bk law to the IRS standards on purpose so that more people would find it harder to file and then even if they did file, more would be forced into Ch 13 to repay creditors at least something. Backfired on them for the most part....one of the few sweet parts about what's happened in the bk world since Oct 2005.

Could you clarify what you mean by "The law ties the values to the IRS values." I'm still a little confused.
