Huh?
Your question is really hard to understand...but if your asking if you have to pay taxes on the interest shown on the 1099 from your second mortgage co, because you filed BK: THAT IS NEVER INCOME...IT IS ALWAYS AN EXPENSE and in fact, a TAX DEDUCTION...don't claim it if you don't want..but that would be foolish.
Of course not understanding even the basic difference between income and expense, and what is good for you and what isn't, may be why you are a bankrupt!

Can you file CHAPTER 13 bankruptcy on my second mortGage?
Removing a Second Mortgage Chapter 13 Bankruptcy also offers an important, and often unknown, option to consumers who have a residential real estate mortgage, namely, removing a junior lien holder or "2nd" mortgage from your home. If you purchased a home with 80/20 mortgages or if you took out a second mortgage in the past few years, you may be able to remove the second mortgage. If the fair market value of your home is below what is owed on the first mortgage, the second mortgage can be removed and the debt associated with it becomes unsecured debt (treated like your credit card debt). In a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, usually only a small, if any, portion of this type of debt is paid. We will need to obtain an appraisal and comps to establish your home's fair market value. We will also need to obtain approval of the court. The mortgage company may oppose this motion. If they do, there may be further court proceedings. At this time, the mortgage companies are not typically opposing our motions to remove the second mortgages. You will need to make all plan payments to obtain your discharge. Once you have the discharge, the second mortgage is gone.
Can you file bankruptcy on a second mortgage and multiple credit cards?
It depends on what you want to do with the house secured by the second mortgage and which chapter of bankruptcy you file. First, regarding the credit cards, yes you can always file on multiple credit cards so long as they were not used in anticipation of bankruptcy. Generally it is a good idea to wait at least 90 days since any card was used before filing the bankruptcy case, and DO NOT make any charges once you think you may file bankruptcy. The run-up-the-cards-before-filing-bankruptcy technique many people think is so clever may be deemed fraud and can result in a federal lawsuit (called an Adversary Proceeding) and repayment of the debt plus attorneys fees. Second, regarding the second mortgage: If you want to keep the home, the second mortgage must be kept also UNLESS you are filing Chapter 13 AND the amount of the first mortgage exceeds the value of the home at the time of filing. So, in the vast majority of cases, if you file bankruptcy you are stuck with all mortgages if you want to keep the home. By way of example of the rare instance when a junior mortgage can be discharged in bankruptcy, say your home is worth $100,000, and you owe $101,000 on your first mortgage. If you file Chapter 13 (repayment plan), you can "strip" the second mortgage (and third, fourth, etc) since the amount owed on the first mortgage exceeds the value of the home. In Chapter 7, you have to keep all mortgages regardless of the value. Another example, say you owe $99,999 on the first mortgage and the home is worth $100,000, and you have a second mortgage on which you owe $50,000. The entire $50,000 second mortgage survives no matter what chapter of bankruptcy you file because it is secured by $1. Yes, only $1 can commit you to the entire second mortgage.

Can you reafirm your 1st mortgage and file bankruptsy on your second mortgage?
That would be a good trick No if you go bankrupt all of you goes bankrupt, Unles you have freinds in high places. Can't spell and is dangerously wrong. You can only "cram down" the second mortgage in a Chapter 13, and only if there is no equity for the second to attach to. But it can be done if you meet those criteria. You don't "file bankruptcy" on a debt. You file bankruptcy and list all your debts.
Do you still owe if chapter 7 discharged second mortgage?
If it was discharged, then you don't owe it anymore. However, you can't just assume that any particular debt was discharged by the bankruptcy, it has to be specifically listed. In particular, you probably cannot keep your house AND get your second mortgage discharged.
