1 Wages, salaries, pensions, and social security: Enter gross monthly wages and/or salaries. Do not deduct tax withholding or allotments taken out of
pay, such as insurance payments, credit union deductions, car payments, etc. To calculate the gross monthly wages and/or salaries:
If paid weekly – multiply weekly gross wages by 4.3. Example: $425.89 x 4.3 = $1,831.33
If paid biweekly (every 2 weeks) – multiply biweekly gross wages by 2.17. Example: $972.45 x 2.17 = $2,110.22
If paid semimonthly (twice each month) – multiply semimonthly gross wages by 2. Example: $856.23 x 2 = $1,712.46
2 Net Income from Business: Enter monthly net business income. This is the amount earned after ordinary and necessary monthly business
expenses are paid. This figure is the amount from page 6, line 89. If the net business income is a loss, enter “0”. Do not enter a negative
number. If this amount is more or less than previous years, attach an explanation.
3 Net Rental Income: Enter monthly net rental income. This is the amount earned after ordinary and necessary monthly rental expenses are
paid. Do not include deductions for depreciation or depletion. If the net rental income is a loss, enter “0.” Do not enter a negative number.

liability companies reported on Form 1040, Schedule C, D or E. Enter total distributions from IRAs if not included under pension income.

6 Expenses not generally allowed: We generally do not allow tuition for private schools, public or private college expenses, charitable

necessary for the health and welfare of the individual or family or the production of income. See Publication 1854 for exceptions.
7 Food, Clothing and Miscellaneous: Total of food, clothing, housekeeping supplies, and personal care products for one month. The miscellaneous
allowance is for expenses incurred that are not included in any other allowable living expense items. Examples are credit card payments, bank fees
