Chpt 7 & Income question...

[boxerluvr2004]

Mu husband is the only one working (I am a SAHM) and he only works part of the year (due to weather) and is laid off for about 5 mos every winter. My question is, how do we figure his income? Is it ok to just use our income tax returns to figure how much he earns each year? He's currently working but it wouldn't be fair to take his current weekly income and multiply it X's 52 wks to get his yearly income because he'll be laid off around November and won't return until April or May. Can someone plz help me out here?

Thanks so much!

By all means- use your tax returns to average his monthly income. It's a safe assumption that you sock away the money you'll need for the off months... you will have to list year to date totals and the last two years tax return numbers on the petition, too.
