In the past year, the official bankruptcy forms have been amended several times. On April 1, 2007, changes to the federal bankruptcy exemption amounts and other dollar figures included in the federal bankruptcy law were adjusted for inflation. Because of these changes, a handful of the official bankruptcy forms were amended as well.

Some of the forms were amended again effective December 1, 2007, and once again for good measure on January 1, 2008.

To find the new forms, visit the U.S. Courts website at www.uscourts.gov.

The changes in almost all of these forms are minor, and the step-by-step instructions in Nolo's bankruptcy books are still accurate. More extensive changes were made to Form B22A and Form B22C, the two means test forms. If you need help completing these forms, you may need to use the free online means test and other materials available at www.legalconsumer.com.
