Audit please write me someone

[denisejohn65]

On this letter it says Yours truly, xxxxx Assistant United States Trustee. Then in the bottem left corner it has the firm that is doing the audit and the guys name, then Chapter 7 case trustee after it. So do you think this is random???Or is this my trustee???

[JRScott]

The audit is indeed random.

So long as you have been fully honest in your petition you have nothing to worry about, just gather the required paperwork and get it to them. (Make a copy of it before you send it just in case).

I will go now and try to relax.I read that...kind of scary a little......Thank you

One more question Justbroke......are they connected with the irs???? Do they report you to them if they want???? I will stop for the night after this.

So, how much sleep have you gotten lately? Just wondering.

No, this is not connected to the IRS and has absolutely nothing to do with an IRS Audit. This is an Audit as mandated by Congress as part of the BAPCPA of 2005.

As the U.S. Trustee puts it...

the audit is not the same as a tax audit or financial audit conducted in accordance with “generally accepted auditing standards,”

Since you won't go to sleep... here's something you can read on the U.S. Trustee's Bankruptcy Audit Program...

(Note: that it does talk about "penalties" for false statements if you don't have a good explanation. Again, I would not worry since you gave all your honest answers to your Attorney. This is not an IRS audit. They are not looking to get you. They are just performing a random sampling to ensure the integrity of the entire Bankruptcy Program.)

k thanks.... I hope I hold up....hell....I will after all this!!! What else could happen...huh???

[justbroke]

Ok....do you think I will get audited agin after my 341 in July 20th? What are the chances for that??? My lawyer said I will probably be a not asset case cause I have no money.

Trust your lawyer. If you have no money, then you have no worries. You will not be "audited" again after your 341 meeting. If anything, the U.S. Trustee could become "interested" in your case, but that's not an audit. If your lawyer indicates that you have no issues and hasn't brought up any "presumption of abuse" to you... you should sail right through!

Relax... get some rest!

[denisejohn65]

I mean a no asset case

Do you think is is strange that I'm being audited before my 341 or not???

You're thinking too much into this. I really want you to have a good night's rest!

You were selected for auditing as soon as your case was filed. It is totally random and is 1 in 1,000 filings. You were just the lucky number that came up.

This audit has absolutely nothing to do with the 341 meeting, and nothing to do with you, your name, where you live, your debt or anything like that. Totally random.

Everyone is sending you hugs!!!!

[jb300]

Just giving you a hug. Do as Justbroke says and I am sure you will be fine.

[justbroke]

Well, come back anytime with any questions. There are a lot of us on here who may not have been through the audit, but have been through this process.
