The filing requirements for a partnership in bankruptcy proceedings do not change. However, the filing of required returns becomes the responsibility of an appointed trustee, receiver, or a debtor-in-possession rather than a general partner.
A partnership's debt that is canceled because of bankruptcy is not included in the partnership's income. It may or may not be included in the individual partners' income. See Partnerships, under Debt Cancellation.
