This report is filed via email once the checks have cleared and bank statements reflect zero balance and have a closed status.
Accessing the Report
Prior to accessing the TDR report, flag claims in the Claims screen as non-dischargeable, as applicable, via the checkbox shown below to the right of the ‘Class’ field. If any edits need to be made to this value, enter the amount in as a negative. This impacts the total value of discharged debt in the case, as reported on page one of the TDR.
Note: Trustees must now show scheduled claim amounts. When no POC/claim is filed, you must display the scheduled claims in the corresponding Exhibits. The scheduled data is used to calculate the field, “Claims Discharged without Payment”. Non dischargeable debts must be excluded from this field. A checkbox is available on the Claims screen (shown above) to flag non-dischargeable claims. Also, an editable field titled ‘Adjustments’ is available on the Reports screen (the second screenshot below) to allow for modification of this number.
Formula for Claims Discharged without Payment:
Scheduled unsecured claims (no POC filed) + POC filed unsecured claims – Payments to unsecured claims – Interest paid to unsecured claim – Unpaid balance on non dischargeable claims = Claims Discharged Without Payment.
To access the TDR, from the Trustee Suite Main Menu toolbar, select ‘Reports’, the ‘UST Forms’ tab and then ‘Trustee’s Distribution Report (TDR)’ from the Print Reports screen to invoke the Trustee’s Distribution Report (TDR) screen shown below.
