Hello, I have investment property that I just break even on if they are rented. I have 40k in credit card debt that I can not pay. Can I file chapter 7 and keep my tax write off?

Assuming you have any equity given the prevailing market conditions, you may want to move in and live there before becoming eligible for a homestead filing, I can then file bankruptcy after qualifying you. However if this is a second home, the answer is No.

Good luck
