Bankruptcy will always be on your credit scoring record.

After the bankruptcy is discharged it will have a less negative effect, and then after 6 years it is supposed to be considered done with and you get get a mortgage, loans etc.

However, having a bankruptcy on your record will always have some negative effect even after the 6 years are up.

Bankruptcies are maintained on a credit report for at least 10 years.

It will appear in your credit history for ten years. Credit reporting isn't state specific; it's a national standard. Most accounts will show for seven years but bankruptcy will show for ten.

Will your credit report only show a discharged bankruptcy or will it also show all the accounts included in the bankruptcy?

Your credit report will show both the accounts (which were listed first) and the legal entry of the bankruptcy in the public records portion of your credit report. Once a bankruptcy is discharged, credit grantors should update the account listing (called a trade line) and make sure that no derogatory information is showing (like past due balance or collection account notations) EXCEPT for the "included in bankruptcy" statement. This is what SHOULD happen. It's up to you to follow up and make sure that your credit report looks like it is supposed to after a bankruptcy.
