Best Answer

The S Corp and you are independent entities, so your personal holdings are not included in the S corp filing.

However, apparently one of your personal holdings is the stock of the S corp....which may or may not be jointly owned by you and your spouse as marital property (certainly is if your in a community property state). So if you filed a personal bankruptcy, that asset would be involved.

As your saying a Chap 11, a business re-org...I gather it is for the Corp...which again is separate from you and your wife...but...in most Bus BK I've seen, (and unfortunately it's been too many)....the shareholders (which you are), lose all their ownership interest in the Corporation and it goes to the creditors who are asked to give up something.

What is the business entity convention?

Business entity convention The convention that holds that, for accounting purposes, the business and its owner(s) are treated as quite separate and distinct. The business entity concept provides that the accounting for a business or organization be kept separate from the personal affairs of its owner, or from any other business or organization. This means that the owner of a business should not place any personal assets on the business balance sheet. The balance sheet of the business must reflect the financial position of the business alone. Also, when transactions of the business are recorded, any personal expenditures of the owner are charged to the owner and are not allowed to affect the operating results of the business.

If you own a small business with its own tax id number is that business included in a chapter 7 personal bankruptcy?

Well no to the degree the business has nothing to do with your personal BK...it makes no difference to it. However, your personal ownership of the business (just like if you invested/owned stock in any company and it had value), may well become something that the creditors would want to pay your personal debts. And they certainly would at least want to see that you didn't hide any personal assets under the name of the business...like the business owns the cars and the boat and the vacation house....and has undistributed earnings...don't laugh - many people try this).
