Personal Bankruptcy

If everything was disclosed properly in my personal bankruptcy and the S Corp stock is not worth anything as yet, HOW does it effect the S Corp that I am an officer of?

It shouldn't be affected at all, if it is really not worth anything.

I responded to your other question in more detail. If you disclosed your ownership interest in your bankruptcy papers and the trustee does not sell it because the property is exempt or has no value, it will remain yours. However, many credit applications for corporations will ask about the whether the owners, officers or directors have filed for bankruptcy. It should not impact the corporation's credit rating, but it might impact someone's decision to extend credit to the corporation.
