Best Answer

The trustee will look at your entire financial situation based on the information that you provided in your bankruptcy filing and supplemental documentation, but I am unaware of any ability or authority foro the trustee to be able to get information from the IRS. You are LEGALLY REQUIRED to disclose the winnings when you file for bankruptcy. Failure to do so would be bankruptcy fraud and could result in the denial of your discharge if this information comes to the attention fo the court and/or the trustee. If you made preferential payments to creditors, the trusted might ask for a refund of those payments to be distributed to all of your creditors.

One month after your chapter 7 debts were dismissed you won some money would you have to contact the trustee?

Technically, a "dismissed" Chapter 7 case does NOT discharge your debts; but you say "debts were dismissed", so I assume it's a true discharge (like most bankruptcies). If you mean "won" as in winning a sweepstakes or lottery, the trustee can't touch it since you weren't legally entitled to it when you filed. However, if you won a lawsuit over something that occurred before you filed, it should have been included in your estate; unless it was exempted in your filing (rare), the trustee is entitled to it.
