Right after you file your Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Arizona, your trustee sends you a letter asking for COPIES of titles to your vehicles and your real property (your house, for instance).
The Trustee also asks for copies of three years of tax returns.
Our Trustees are very polite, so it sounds like they're requesting the three years of tax returns.
They are, in fact, demanding the tax returns, and very politely, thank you.
So give them what they want. Mail them the copies they want right after you get the letter.
Keep three copies of what you've sent, so when you go to the First Meeting of Creditors, if the trustee says, "FEE FO FI FUM, I DIDN'T GET MY COPIES OF DOCUMENTS!", you can hand them the second set and back slowly away from the trustee.
Seriously, send them the entire stack of copies they want. There's no percentage in making the poor, overworked, underpaid, and under-appreciated trustee sad.
Everybody involved in this process should want happy debtors, happy trustees and happy Judges.
