Form B 106 Summary: A Summary of Your Assets and Liabilities and Statistical Information

Form B 106 Summary, A Summary of Your Assets and Liabilities and Certain Statistical Information (individuals), is the Official Bankruptcy Form an individual debtor uses to bring the totals from the other bankruptcy schedules together on one form. The PDF labels it Official Form 106Sum. The U.S. Courts list it under Individual Debtors. The current version is dated 12/15, and the U.S. Courts page lists it as effective on December 1, 2015. The page also says Official Bankruptcy Forms are approved by the Judicial Conference and must be used under Bankruptcy Rule 9009, and that this form is derived from Official Form 6, Summary.

The 2-page form copies totals from Schedule A/B, Schedule D, Schedule E/F, Schedule I and Schedule J, then asks a few questions for administrative and statistical records. The form says to fill out all of the schedules first and then complete this one. The committee note says it replaces Official Form 6 in cases of individual debtors and no longer asks which schedules are attached or how many sheets of paper were used.

This page explains the form in plain words and is not legal advice. You can fill it out free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.

With the United States Bankruptcy Court for the district named at the top of page 1. The form says to submit it to the court with your other schedules.

When

The instruction booklet lists the Summary among the forms filed either when the bankruptcy case is filed or within 14 days after the Voluntary Petition for Individuals Filing for Bankruptcy (Form 101), and says the case may be dismissed if they are not filed.

Filing fee

Amended forms

The booklet says a new Summary is filled out when an amended version of any of the summarized forms is filed after the original forms, to keep the information up to date, and the box at the top is checked.

The booklet says making a false statement, concealing property, or obtaining money or property by fraud in connection with a bankruptcy case can result in fines up to $250,000, or imprisonment for up to 20 years, or both.

Who uses Form B 106 Summary?

  • A debtor filing alone

    The form identifies the case by Debtor 1's name, the bankruptcy court district and the case number, if known. The instruction booklet uses you and Debtor 1 for a person filing alone.

  • Married couples filing together

    Debtor 2 is the spouse, if filing. The form says that if two married people are filing together, both are equally responsible for supplying correct information.

  • Debtors who amend their schedules

    The form says that when amended schedules are filed after the original forms, a new Summary is filled out and the amended filing box at the top of page 1 is checked.

  • Chapter 7, 11 or 13 consumer cases

    Part 4 applies to a case under Chapter 7, 11 or 13 whose debts are primarily consumer debts. Otherwise the form says there is nothing to report in that part.

  • Not for companies

    The instruction booklet says the 100 series forms are for individuals and married couples, and sole proprietors use them too. A corporation, partnership or LLC uses the 200 series.
