Surplus Income

Hello,
Is it an option to pay extra taxes (on self-employed income) to reduce our surplus income so that we are not over the allowable income and do not have to stay in bankrutpcy for an additional 12 months?
Thank you.

Hello,

Unfortunately you can’t pay extra tax simply to avoid paying your surplus income obligation. It is recommended that you make the standard tax deductions and that will be used to reduce your surplus, but the must not be excessive.
