Census
Bureau, IRS Data and Administrative Expenses Multipliers
Most individual debtors filing for bankruptcy relief are required to complete either Official Bankruptcy Form 22A
or 22C
(Statement of Current Monthly Income and calculations).
Bankruptcy Form 22A is the form chapter
7 debtors will complete for “means testing”
purposes; Form 22C is the form chapter 13
debtors will complete. [The Official Bankruptcy
Forms can be found on the Administrative
Office of the U.S. Courts Web site.]
A debtor
must enter income and expense information onto
the appropriate form (i.e., Form 22A or Form 22C)and then make calculations
using the information entered. Some of the information needed to complete these forms, such as a debtor's current monthly income, comes from the debtor's own personal records. However, other information
needed to complete the forms comes from the Census
Bureau and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
This Web site reproduces the Census Bureau and IRS Data necessary to complete Bankruptcy Forms 22A and 22C. The
source data reproduced here is also available directly from the
IRS and Census Bureau using the links at the bottom
of this page.
