Well, I got delayed one more time. Now a bonus question

[Lajazz947]

For good reason I may have to wait until 12/15/08 to file.

My attorney is out of town until mid January and I want him with his experience at my 341.

I MIGHT get a pretty good bonus in January which would be treated as an advance against a future paymenjt on a project that would be completed in about 3 years.

I can control the bonus of need be and I can defer it as long as I need to but I don't want to raise any flags and it's still a maybe.

Now, if I file on 12/15/08 and the bonus is paid say January 30th of 09 after a 341 do I have to tell the trustee?

If I have not yet taken it but it has been declared it seems disingenous, if it has not been declared yet but is coming it seems like the same thing.

I could of course just not take ANY bonus and get a big payday in a couple of years.

It's all unceretain and lots of things have to happen for the deal to go through but I just need to know what to tell the trustee.

My attorney is very good but as you all might gather I like to get a general idea of the answer before I ask my attorney.

Thanks,
