bankruptcy file date or discharge date?

[SANDIBJEN]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California

I live in California and filed for chapter 7 in November of 2008 but discharge will not be valid until march 2009. Will the chapter 7 affect my 2008 tax filing or will it affect it next year when i file 2009 taxes? Basically I am wondering if I will get some kind of form from the government in the mail for 2008 or will it be next years taxes???

It's business as usual. It won't affect your individual returns.

thanks

Thanks for the super quick response!! I guess I got myself worked up trying to read the IRS pamphlets. They had bankruptcy estate instructions, and I thought that is what I was going to have to do. Thanks again!!!
