Motion By Party In Interest For Access To Debtors Federal Tax Information {11}

OLF 11 - MOTION BY PARTY IN INTEREST FOR ACCESS TO DEBTOR’S FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION. This form is used in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts by a party in interest—such as a creditor or trustee—who seeks court permission to access a debtor’s federal tax documents filed in the case. Under 11 U.S.C. § 521(g)(2), this motion is required because tax returns are considered sensitive and confidential information. The filer must explain why they qualify as a party in interest, why the tax information is necessary, and confirm that the information cannot be obtained through any other source. The filer must also certify that they attempted to resolve the issue informally before submitting the motion. The form includes a declaration under penalty of perjury and a certificate of service confirming that all required parties were properly notified. If granted, the court authorizes the Clerk to mail the tax information to the requesting party, who must maintain the confidentiality of the documents. The order section of the form, completed by the judge, notes whether the motion is granted or denied and warns that improper use or disclosure of the information may result in sanctions. www.FormsWorkflow.com
