Need advice regarding bankruptcy

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

Please help.

I am in the process of paying my bankruptcy attorney so he will file for me. He asked that i provide him with copies of my tax returns for the previous two years, so I retrieved them from H&R Block the other day. I recently mentioned my bankruptcy situation to my close friend whom referred me to this tax professional at the before mentioned agency. I was shocked when he informed me that my return might not be 100% accurate. Upon further inspection I noticed that the tax pro claimed about $20K in medical bills on my return which I did not have. Like an idiot, I never inspected these before because I assumed they always were honest working for such a large agency. I am now panicking and assume that this will be uncovered by the bankruptcy trustee when they review these returns and it will look as if I cheated. I have asked several family members and friends who have claimed chapter 7 in the past about what I should do. Every single one of them have told me not to worry, that the trustee won't question me about these medical bills my tax pro listed on my return. Is this true?

The trustee wants to see your sources of income, your withholding,etc. As long as the income portion is correct, the deductions will be between you and the IRS. This shouldn't affect your filing.
