Question Details

How do I review the Chapter 7 reconciliation for Chapter 13 plans?

In EZ-Filing > Chapter 13 plans > Chapter 7 reconciliation

Answer

Using the Chapter 13 Worksheet, you can review the calculations EZ-Filing uses to compute the estimated dividend for unsecured creditors if the debtor were to file under Chapter 7.

  1. In the main menu, select Client>Chapter 13 Plan>Worksheet/Calculator.
  2. In the Chapter 13 Worksheet, select the Ch 7 Reconciliation tab.
  3. Use the following table to review the information presented in the window:

Field

Description or Action

Calculations


Total property of debtor


Shows the total value of the debtor's assets.



Property securing debt



Shows the total amount of debt secured by collateral.


This amount is subtracted from the Total property of debtor amount.

Exempted property

Shows the total amount of exemptions claimed.

This amount is subtracted from the Total property of debtor amount.

Value of debtor's interest in non-exempt property







Shows the debtor's total gross liquidation value.







This amount is the total property of debtor minus the Property securing debt and the Exempted property amounts.
Note: Since the value of the debtor's interest in non-exempt property cannot be less than zero, the minimum amount that can be displayed is zero.


Value of property recoverable


Enter the amount available to the debtor under avoiding powers.
This amount is added to the running total.

Estimated Chapter 7 administrative expense


Shows the administrative costs that would be incurred if the debtor filed under Chapter 7.

To recalculate this amount, see How do I recalculate the estimated Chapter 7 trustee fee in Chapter 13 plans?

Amounts paid to priority creditors

Shows the total amount of claims by priority unsecured creditors.


Estimated amount payable to unsecured creditors if Chapter 7 filed




Shows the total amount that would be paid to unsecured creditors if the debtor filed Chapter 7.





This amount is the resulting total of all the calculations.

Note: Since the estimated amount payable to unsecured creditors cannot be less than zero, the minimum amount that can be displayed is zero.

Estimated dividend for unsecured creditors if Chapter 7 filed














Shows the percentage of unsecured claims that would be paid if the debtor filed Chapter 7.
When evaluating the Chapter 13 Plan, the trustee will take into consideration the difference between this percentage and the Unsecured Dividend percentage shown on the Calculator tab.
If this percentage is greater than the Unsecured Dividend percentage, two things happen:
  • Diagnostics tab changes to red
  • Chapter 7 dividend greater than Chapter 13 dividend is check-marked
