Most likely your adult son's social security income which is taxable income to him as an adult does not need to be included in your and your husband's income with respect to your Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing even though he is living with you.
The reason is that the bankruptcy pertains to you and your spouse and not your 21 year old son.
