341 scheduled for 11/14, documents needed.

[newday]

I filed 10/14 "pro se" after months of looking into other options. I think I could have qualified under the new laws, but I figured I waited so long why wait? Suprisingly my 341 meeting was scheduled exactly 4 weeks after my filing date, which was a mixed blessing. I'm glad to have things move along quickly, but I was prepared to have my trustee contact me about what documents to bring to the meeting (I've already set aside my pay stubs for a year, and bank statements for the past 18months). The clerk handed me a sheet with a list of things to submit to my trustee 2 weeks prior to the 341 meeting instead of at the meeting, which only gives me 2 weeks to gather all the info I need. No problem except for one, and it's probably a biggie. I don't have copies of my taxes from the past two years, which is what is requested. I've already submitted a request from the IRS for copies but the website says it takes up to 60 days, I also submitted a request for transcripts because the turnaround time for those is only 10-15 days. Does anyone know what the trustee will do if I explain my situation to him? I have everything else ready and I submitted my request immediatly after being notified of what is needed. I would have ordered them earlier, but at $39 each I didn't want to request them if they weren't needed.

Also, I don't own a vehicle but use one that's owned by and registered to a relative (he's always owned it, I didn't transfer it to him). I put travel expenses of $165 (for maintence and gasoline, a conservative estimate) and insurance $75 since I pay for insurance myself. Will this be a problem or red flag? I'm prepared to bring in the title/registration/insurance to show the facts.

Who filed your taxes? If someone else did, they should have a copy. Why in the world dont you have your tax returns? You sound organized. He may look at your pay stubs but that doesn't show all the information he may be looking at. He may also give you additonal time to get the tax returns to him. Get the other items copied and send to him and then write an explanation that you have requested them. I know $39 is about a 1/2 of tank of gas but less headache for later. Sounds like the trustee just has certain things that he wants to see on a regular basis. I woudln't be concerned with that in intself.
Travel expenses seem ok, the trustee knows that you have to get to work, maybe take a notarized statement with you from relative about vehicle and give it to him only if he asks.

I believe if you call 1-800-829-1040 you can request that they mail you a copy, but I am not sure how long this will take.
