tax returns

i filed for bankruptcy June 2006, my trustee did the pre tax jan to june, then they have just completed the june to dec06 POST tax. My question is , my bankruptcy ends March 8th 2007. I have completed both my required counselling sessions and my last payment is Feb 28, 2007. When it comes time for me to do my 2007 taxes, will I do them myself, or does the trustee do them again, considering my bankruptcy isnt finished til march. And if i do my own taxes, is any of that money on my return given to the trustee since i would receive it in 2008 but the tax return is for 2 months during the time of my banktruptcy. Does that make sense? Thank you.

You will be responsible for filing your 2007 taxes.

The only tax year that is finished is the year that you file bankruptcy, when you are discharged has no bearing when it comes to taxes.
