IFacts事实
An individual debtor filed under Chapter 7 in December 2025. At the § 341 meeting in January 2026 the firm itself raised two corrections with the trustee: the balance of a vehicle loan, on a car the debtor had already elected to surrender, was understated, and a small federal priority tax debt had been omitted. The court separately entered an order correcting the debtor's identifying information, which extended the deadline to object to discharge to May 15, 2026. The firm filed amended schedules on April 1, 2026, and the trustee confirmed that no further meeting was needed.一名个人债务人于2025年12月申请第7章破产。在2026年1月的第341条会议上，本所主动向受托人提出两项更正：一辆债务人已选择交还的汽车，其贷款余额申报过低；另有一笔小额联邦优先税款债务漏报。法院另行作出更正债务人身份信息的命令，并据此将反对免除的期限延至2026年5月15日。本所于2026年4月1日提交修订后的清单，受托人确认无需再次开会。
IIQuestions Presented争议问题
(1) May a debtor correct inaccurate schedules after the § 341 meeting without jeopardizing the discharge? (2) Does scheduling a priority tax debt cause it to be discharged?（一）债务人能否在第341条会议后更正不准确的清单，而不危及债务免除？（二）将优先税款列入清单，是否会使其获得免除？
