Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California

Re: Self-employed

The trustee who handles your Chapter 7 bankruptcy probably will want to see your income tax returns for 2-3 years. You'd also have to disclose any inventory you might have. I haven't encountered other problems because of self-employment. I'll be setting up shop in the Bay Area in a couple of weeks. You can call me if you need further info. (310) 858-9771.

Re: Self-employed

There's more work involved (some extra questions to answer on the petition), and the bankruptcy trustee will probably want to see past tax returns and perhaps bank statements to verify your information about the business. However, it should not be more difficult to get a discharge.
