Bankruptcy Basics: Checking, Savings, or Other Financial Accounts
If the debtor has funds in a bank or credit union account, pension, or other savings instrument when the bankruptcy is filed, then they must be listed as assets in item 17. You do not need to include a full account number for each account, but the last four digits of the account number should be listed pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9037(a)(4). If the funds in the account cannot be exempted, then the debtor should consider converting them to exempt property, if possible, prior to the bankruptcy.
